MSB Audio · Psalms 112
Majority Standard Bible
1 Hallelujah! 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; 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.
KJV
1 ¶ Praise ye the LORD. Blessed [is] the man [that] feareth the LORD, [that] delighteth greatly in his commandments.
2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: [he is] gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
6 ¶ Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart [is] established, he shall not be afraid, until he see [his desire] upon his enemies.
9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
10 The wicked shall see [it], and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
1545 Luther's English Bible (LED)
Of the godly quality and bliss.
1 Hallelujah! Blessed is he that feareth the LORD, that hath great delight in his commandments.
2 The seed shall be mighty in the earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3 Riches and fullness shall be in their house, and their righteousness shall endure for ever.
4 To the upright there ariseth light in the darkness from him that is gracious, and merciful, and just.
5 Blessed is he that is merciful, and lendeth willingly, and judgeth his goods, that he do wrong to none.
6 For he shall abide for ever: the righteous shall never be forgotten.
7 If a plague come, he feareth not: his heart hopeth in the LORD without fear.
8 His heart is confident, and fears not, till he see his delight in his enemies.
9 He scattereth, and giveth to the poor: his righteousness endureth for ever: his horn is exalted with glory.
10 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved: he shall gnash his teeth, and perish. For what the wicked would have, that is lost.
