112:1 Praise the Lord! For all who fear God and trust in him are blessed beyond expression. Yes, happy is the man who delights in doing his commands.
112:2 His children shall be honored everywhere, for good men’s sons have a special heritage.
112:3 He himself shall be wealthy, and his good deeds will never be forgotten.
112:4 When darkness overtakes him, light will come bursting in. He is kind and merciful—
112:5 and all goes well for the generous man who conducts his business fairly.
112:6 Such a man will not be overthrown by evil circumstances. God’s constant care of him will make a deep impression on all who see it.
112:7 He does not fear bad news, nor live in dread of what may happen. For he is settled in his mind that Jehovah will take care of him.
112:8 That is why he is not afraid but can calmly face his foes.
112:9 He gives generously to those in need. His deeds will never be forgotten. He shall have influence and honor.
112:10 Evil-minded men will be infuriated when they see all this; they will gnash their teeth in anger and slink away, their hopes thwarted.
