Chapter 112

The righteous will prosper


1

Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man who feareth the Lord and delighteth greatly in his commandments.

2

His seed shall be mighty upon earth; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3

Wealth and riches shall be in his house; and his righteousness endureth forever.

4

Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness; he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

5

A good man showeth favor and lendeth; he will guide his affairs with discretion.

6

Surely he shall not be moved forever; the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

7

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.

8

His heart is established; he shall not be afraid until he see judgment executed upon his enemies.

9

He hath dispersed; he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth forever; his horn shall be exalted with honor.

10

The wicked shall see it and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth and melt away; the desire of the wicked shall perish.
