Psalm 112 :: Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

The Traits of the Righteous
Psa 112:1

Hallelujah![fn]

Happy is the person who fears the LORD,

taking great delight in his commands.

Psa 112:2

His descendants will be powerful in the land;

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 shines in the darkness for the upright.

He is gracious, compassionate, and righteous.

Psa 112:5

Good will come to the one who lends generously

and conducts his business fairly.

Psa 112:6

He will never be shaken.

The righteous one will be remembered forever.

Psa 112:7

He will not fear bad news;

his heart is confident, trusting in the LORD.

Psa 112:8

His heart is assured; he will not fear.

In the end he will look in triumph on his foes.

Psa 112:9

He distributes freely to the poor;

his righteousness endures forever.

His horn will be exalted in honor.

Psa 112:10

The wicked one will see it and be angry;

he will gnash his teeth in despair.

The desire of the wicked leads to ruin.
