Psalm chapter 112
English Standard Version
1 Praise the Lord! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who greatly delights in his commandments! 2His offspring 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. 4Light dawns in the darkness for the upright; he is gracious, merciful, and righteous. 5It is well with the man who deals generously and lends; who conducts his affairs with justice. 6For the righteous will never be moved; he will be remembered forever. 7He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord. 8His heart is steady; he will not be afraid, until he looks in triumph on his adversaries. 9He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn is exalted in honor. 10The wicked man sees it and is angry; he gnashes his teeth and melts away; the desire of the wicked will perish!
New International Version
1Praise the Lord. Blessed are those who fear the Lord, who find great delight in his commands. 2Their children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed. 3Wealth and riches are in their houses, and their righteousness endures forever. 4Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.
5Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, who conduct their affairs with justice. 6Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever. 7They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord. 8Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear; in the end they will look in triumph on their foes.

They are generous, compassionate, and righteous. 5Good comes to those who lend money generously and conduct their business fairly. 6Such people will not be overcome by evil. Those who are righteous will be long remembered. 7They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the Lord to care for them. 8They are confident and fearless and can face their foes triumphantly. 9They share freely and give generously to those in need. Their good deeds will be remembered forever. They will have influence and honor. 10The wicked will see this and be infuriated. They will grind their teeth in anger; they will slink away, their hopes thwarted.
