PSALM 112

1Hallelujah.

    Happy the man who fears the LORD.ℵ

          His commands he keenly desires.ב

    2A great figure in the land his seed shall be, ג

          the generation of the upright shall be blessed.ד

    3Abundance and wealth in his home, ה

          and his righteousness stands forever.ו

    4Light dawns in darkness for the upright, ז

          gracious and merciful and just.ח

    5Good is the man who shows grace and lends, ט

          he sustains his words with justice. י

    6For he shall never stumble, כ

          an eternal remembrance the just man shall be. ל

    7From evil rumor he shall not fear. מ

          His heart is firm, he trusts in the LORD. נ

    8His heart is staunch, he shall not fear, ס

          till he sees the defeat of his foes. ע

    9He disperses, he gives to the needy, פ

          his righteousness stands forever. צ

          His horn shall be raised in glory. ק

    10The wicked man sees and is vexed, ר

    he gnashes his teeth and he quails. ש

          The desire of the wicked shall perish. ת
