The Righteous Will Never Be Moved

112 [a] (A)Praise the Lord!
(B)Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
    who (C)greatly delights in his commandments!
His (D)offspring will be mighty in the land;
    (E)the generation of the upright will be blessed.
(F)Wealth and riches are in his house,
    and his (G)righteousness endures forever.
Light dawns in the darkness (H)for the upright;
    he is gracious, merciful, and (I)righteous.
It is well with the man who (J)deals generously and lends;
    who conducts his affairs with justice.
For the righteous will (K)never be moved;
    (L)he will be remembered forever.
He is not (M)afraid of bad news;
    his (N)heart is firm, (O)trusting in the Lord.
His heart is steady;[b] he will not be afraid,
    until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.
He has (P)distributed freely; he has given to the poor;
    his righteousness endures forever;
    his (Q)horn is exalted in honor.
10 The wicked man sees it and is angry;
    he (R)gnashes his teeth and (S)melts away;
    (T)the desire of the wicked will perish!

Prosperidad del que teme al Señor

Aleluya.

112 Dichoso el hombre que honra al Señor
y se deleita obedeciendo sus mandatos.
Sus hijos tendrán poder en la tierra,
y serán bendecidos por su rectitud.
Su casa rebosará de bienestar y de riquezas,
y su justicia permanecerá para siempre.
Para los justos, la luz brilla en las tinieblas.
Dios es bueno, justo y compasivo.
El hombre bueno es compasivo y generoso;
todos sus negocios los maneja con justicia,
y por eso nunca tendrá tropiezos.
El hombre justo siempre será recordado;
vivirá sin temor a las malas noticias,
y su corazón estará firme y confiando en el Señor.
Su corazón estará tranquilo, sin ningún temor,
y llegará a ver la caída de sus enemigos.
El justo comparte con los pobres lo que tiene;
su justicia permanece para siempre,(A)
y con mucha honra puede ostentar su poder.
10 El malvado lo ve y se enoja;
rechinando los dientes, se irá consumiendo;
pero sus malos deseos no prosperarán.
