Psalm 112

^112:1 Praise the Lord! How blessed is the one who obeys the Lord, who takes great delight in keeping his commands. ^112:2 His descendants will be powerful on the earth; the godly will be blessed. ^112:3 His house contains wealth and riches; his integrity endures. ^112:4 In the darkness a light shines for the godly, for each one who is merciful, compassionate, and just. ^112:5 It goes well for the one who generously lends money and conducts his business honestly. ^112:6 For he will never be shaken; others will always remember one who is just. ^112:7 He does not fear bad news. He is confident; he trusts in the Lord. ^112:8 His resolve is firm; he will not succumb to fear before he looks in triumph on his enemies. ^112:9 He generously gives to the needy; his integrity endures. He will be vindicated and honored. ^112:10 When the wicked see this, they will worry; they will grind their teeth in frustration and melt away. The desire of the wicked will perish.
