Psalms 112



112 [577]

<1> Praise the Lord!

The Lord blesses those who fear and respect him and love his commands.

<2> Their descendants will be great on earth.

They will be really blessed.

<3> Their family will be very rich,

and their goodness will continue forever.

<4> They are like a light shining in the dark

for other good people.

They are good, kind and merciful.

<5> It is good for people to be kind and generous.

It is good for them to be fair in business.

<6> Such people will never fall.

Good people will be remembered forever.

<7> They will not be afraid of bad news.

They are confident because they trust in the Lord.

<8> They remain confident and without fear,

so they defeat their enemies.

<9> They freely give to the poor.

Their goodness will continue forever.

They will be honored with victory.

<10> The wicked become angry when they see this.

They grind their teeth in anger but then disappear.

They will never get what they want most.
