Psalm 112

The Traits of the Righteous

1 Hallelujah![a]
Happy is the person who fears the Lord,
taking great delight in his commands.(A)
2 His descendants will be powerful in the land;
the generation of the upright will be blessed.(B)
3 Wealth and riches are in his house,(C)
and his righteousness endures forever.(D)
4 Light shines in the darkness for the upright.(E)
He is gracious, compassionate, and righteous.(F)
5 Good will come to the one who lends generously
and conducts his business fairly.(G)
6 He will never be shaken.(H)
The righteous one will be remembered forever.(I)
7 He will not fear bad news;
his heart is confident, trusting in the Lord.(J)
8 His heart is assured; he will not fear.(K)
In the end he will look in triumph on his foes.(L)
9 He distributes freely to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever.(M)
His horn will be exalted in honor.(N)

10 The wicked one will see it and be angry;
he will gnash his teeth in despair.(O)
The desire of the wicked leads to ruin.(P)

Proverbs 18:6-12

6 A fool’s lips lead to strife,
and his mouth provokes a beating.(A)

7 A fool’s mouth is his devastation,
and his lips are a trap for his life.(B)

8 A gossip’s words are like choice food
that goes down to one’s innermost being.[a](C)

9 The one who is lazy in his work
is brother to a vandal.[b](D)

10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower;(E)
the righteous run to it and are protected.[c](F)

11 The wealth of the rich is his fortified city;
in his imagination it is like a high wall.(G)

12 Before his downfall a person’s heart is proud,(H)
but humility comes before honor.(I)

1 Peter 4:7-11

End-Time Ethics

7 The end of all things is near;(A) therefore, be alert and sober-minded(B) for prayer. 8 Above all, maintain constant love(C) for one another, since love covers a multitude of sins.[a](D) 9 Be hospitable(E) to one another without complaining. 10 Just as each one has received a gift, use it to serve others,(F) as good stewards of the varied grace of God. 11 If anyone speaks, let it be as one who speaks God’s words; if anyone serves, let it be from the strength God provides,(G) so that God may be glorified through Jesus Christ in everything. To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.
