Psalms 112 YLT
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 Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.
2Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed.
3Wealth and riches are in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.
4Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.
5Good is the man--gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.
6For--to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.
7Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.
8Sustained is his heart--he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.
9He hath scattered--hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.
10The wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!
