Psalms • Chapter 112

1 Praise the LORD!<br> How joyful are those who fear the LORD<br>and delight in obeying his commands.<br> 2 Their children will be successful everywhere;<br>an entire generation of godly people will be blessed.<br> 3 They themselves will be wealthy,<br>and their good deeds will last forever.<br> 4 Light shines in the darkness for the godly.<br>They are generous, compassionate, and righteous.<br> 5 Good comes to those who lend money generously<br>and conduct their business fairly.<br> 6 Such people will not be overcome by evil.<br>Those who are righteous will be long remembered.<br> 7 They do not fear bad news;<br>they confidently trust the LORD to care for them.<br> 8 They are confident and fearless<br>and can face their foes triumphantly.<br> 9 They share freely and give generously to those in need.<br>Their good deeds will be remembered forever.<br>They will have influence and honor.<br> 10 The wicked will see this and be infuriated.<br>They will grind their teeth in anger;<br>they will slink away, their hopes thwarted.<br>
