Psalm 112

The Man Who Fears the Lord

The Man Who Fears the Lord

Praise the Lord.[a]

How blessed is a man who fears the Lord.
In his commands he delights greatly.
His descendants will be mighty in the land.
The circle of the upright will be blessed.
Wealth and riches are in his house,
and his righteousness stands forever.
In darkness, light dawns for the upright.
He is gracious and compassionate and righteous.
Good things will come to the man
    who is gracious and lends,
    who conducts his business with justice.
Surely he will never fall.
The righteous will be remembered forever.
He will not fear bad news.
His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
His heart is secure.
He will have no fear, until he looks in triumph on his foes.
He scatters seed—he gives to the poor.
His righteousness stands forever.
His horn[b] will be lifted high in glory.

The End of the Wicked

10 The wicked person will see and be frustrated.
He will gnash his teeth and melt away.
The desire of the wicked will perish.

Psalm 113

The Mighty Deliverer

Invitation to Praise

Praise the Lord.[c]

Praise, you servants of the Lord,
praise the name of the Lord.
