Psalm 112
Revised Standard Version

Blessings of the Righteous

112 Praise the Lord!
Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
    who greatly delights in his commandments!
2 His descendants will be mighty in the land;
    the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in his house;
    and his righteousness endures for ever.
4 Light rises in the darkness for the upright;
    the Lord[a] is gracious, merciful, and righteous.
5 It is well with the man who deals generously and lends,
    who conducts his affairs with justice.
6 For the righteous will never be moved;
    he will be remembered for ever.
7 He is not afraid of evil tidings;
    his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.
8 His heart is steady, he will not be afraid,
    until he sees his desire on his adversaries.
9 He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor;
    his righteousness endures for ever;
    his horn is exalted in honor.
10 The wicked man sees it and is angry;
    he gnashes his teeth and melts away;
    the desire of the wicked man comes to nought.
