Psalm 112
The Blessed Fear of the LORD
(Psalms 128:1–6)
¹ Hallelujah!1 Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in His commandments.
² His descendants will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.
³ Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.
⁴ Light dawns in the darkness for the upright— for the gracious, compassionate, and righteous.
⁵ It is well with the man who is generous and lends freely, whose affairs are guided by justice.
⁶ Surely he will never be shaken; the righteous man will be remembered forever.
⁷ He does not fear bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
⁸ His heart is assured; he does not fear, until he looks in triumph on his foes.
⁹ He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever;2 his horn will be lifted high in honor.
¹⁰ The wicked man will see and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the desires of the wicked will perish.
