Psalms 112
1
Praise the LORD!1
Blessed is the man who fears the LORD,2 2 His offspring will be mighty in the land. 3 Wealth and riches are in his house. 4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, 5 It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. 6 For he will never be shaken. 7 He will not be afraid of evil news. 8 His heart is established. 9 He has dispersed, he has given to the poor. 10 The wicked will see it, and be grieved.
