Psalm 112 :: Amplified Bible (AMP)

Prosperity of the One Who Fears the LORD.

Psa 112:1

Praise the LORD! (Hallelujah!)

Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who fears the LORD [with awe-inspired reverence and worships Him with obedience],

Who delights greatly in His commandments.

Psa 112:2

His descendants will be mighty on earth;

The generation of the upright will be blessed.

Psa 112:3

Wealth and riches are in his house,

And his righteousness endures forever.

Psa 112:4

Light arises in the darkness for the upright;

He is gracious and compassionate and righteous (upright—in right standing with God).

Psa 112:5

It is well with the man who is gracious and lends;

He conducts his affairs with justice.

Psa 112:6

He will never be shaken;

The righteous will be remembered forever.

Psa 112:7

He will not fear bad news;

His heart is steadfast, trusting [confidently relying on and believing] in the LORD.

Psa 112:8

His heart is upheld, he will not fear

While he looks [with satisfaction] on his adversaries.

Psa 112:9

He has given freely to the poor;

His righteousness endures forever;

His horn will be exalted in honor.

Psa 112:10

The wicked will see it and be angered,

He will gnash his teeth and melt away [in despair and death];

The desire of the wicked will perish and come to nothing.
