Psalm 112

Prosperity of One Who Fears the Lord.

112 [a]Praise [b]the Lord!
(A)Blessed is a person who [c]fears the Lord,
Who greatly (B)delights in His commandments.
2 His [d](C)descendants will be mighty [e]on the earth;
The generation of the (D)upright will be blessed.
3 (E)Wealth and riches are in his house,
And his righteousness endures forever.
4 Light shines in the darkness (F)for the upright;
He is (G)gracious, compassionate, and righteous.
5 It goes well for a person who (H)is gracious and lends;
He will [f]maintain his cause in judgment.
6 For he will (I)never be shaken;
The (J)righteous will be [g]remembered forever.

7 He will not fear (K)bad news;
His (L)heart is steadfast, (M)trusting in the Lord.
8 His (N)heart is firm, he (O)will not fear,
[h]But will (P)look with satisfaction on his enemies.
9 [i]He (Q)has given freely to the poor,
His righteousness endures forever;
His (R)horn will be exalted in honor.

10 The (S)wicked will see it and be [j]vexed,
He will (T)gnash his teeth and (U)melt away;
The (V)desire of the wicked will perish.

Proverbs 18:6-12

6 A fool’s lips [a]bring strife,
And his mouth invites (A)beatings.
7 A (B)fool’s mouth is his ruin,
And his lips are the snare of his soul.
8 The words of a gossiper are like dainty morsels,
And they go down into the [b]innermost parts of the body.
9 He also who is (C)lax in his work
(D)Is a brother to him who destroys.
10 The (E)name of the Lord is a (F)strong tower;
The righteous runs into it and (G)is [c]safe.
11 A (H)rich person’s wealth is his strong city,
And like a high wall in his own imagination.
12 (I)Before destruction the heart of a person is haughty,
But (J)humility goes before honor.

1 Peter 4:7-11

7 (A)The end of all things [a]is near; therefore, (B)be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of [b]prayer. 8 Above all, (C)keep fervent in your love for one another, because (D)love covers a multitude of sins. 9 (E)Be hospitable to one another without (F)complaint. 10 (G)As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good (H)stewards of the [c]multifaceted grace of God. 11 (I)Whoever speaks is to do so as one who is speaking (J)actual words of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving [d](K)by the strength which God supplies; so that (L)in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, (M)to whom belongs the glory and [e]dominion forever and ever. Amen.
