Psalms 112 KJV
Summary: A companion acrostic psalm to 111, shifting focus from God's character to the blessed life of the person "that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments" (v. 1). Such a person's descendants are mighty, his house holds wealth and righteousness, and he is "gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous" (v. 4), generous toward the poor: "He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever" (v. 9). It closes contrasting this settled, fearless righteous person with the wicked, whose desire "shall perish" (v. 10).
1Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
2His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
6Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
8His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
9He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
10The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
