Psalms of David - Modern Translation - Psalm 112

Blessed are those who revere the Lord, 
who find great joy in His commandments.

Their descendants will be mighty in the land; 
the generation of the upright will be blessed.

Wealth and riches are in their homes, a
nd their righteousness endures throughout all time.

Light shines in the darkness for the upright; 
the gracious, the compassionate, and the just.

Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, 
who conduct their affairs with justice.

Surely they will never be shaken; 
the righteous will be remembered forever.

They will not fear bad news; 
their hearts are steadfast, 
trusting in the Lord.

Their hearts are secure, 
they will not be afraid; in the end, 
they will look in triumph on their adversaries.

They give freely to those in need; 
their righteousness endures throughout all time, 
and their strength is lifted high in honor.

The wicked see and are troubled; 
they gnash their teeth and fade away. 
The longing of the wicked comes to nothing.
