112:1  PRAISE THE Lord! (Hallelujah!) Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who fears (reveres and worships) the Lord, who delights greatly in His commandments.

112:2  His [spiritual] offspring shall be mighty upon earth; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

112:3  Prosperity {and} welfare are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.

112:4  Light arises in the darkness for the upright, gracious, compassionate, {and} just [who are in right standing with God].

112:5  It is well with the man who deals generously and lends, who conducts his affairs with justice.

112:6  He will not be moved forever; the [uncompromisingly] righteous (the upright, in right standing with God) shall be in everlasting remembrance.

112:7  He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is firmly fixed, trusting (leaning on and being confident) in the Lord.

112:8  His heart is established {and} steady, he will not be afraid while he waits to see his desire established upon his adversaries.

112:9  He has distributed freely [he has given to the poor and needy]; his righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God) endures forever; his horn shall be exalted in honor.

112:10  The wicked man will see it and be grieved {and} angered, he will gnash his teeth and disappear [in despair]; the desire of the wicked shall perish {and} come to nothing.
