Psalms 112
The Blessed Fear of the LORD
(Psalm 128:1–6)
1Hallelujah!
Blessed is the man who fears the LORD,
who greatly delights in His commandments.
2His descendants will be mighty in the land;
the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3Wealth and riches are in his house,
and his righteousness endures forever.
4Light dawns in the darkness for the upright —
for the gracious, compassionate, and righteous.
5It is well with the man who is generous and lends freely,
whose affairs are guided by justice.
6Surely he will never be shaken;
the righteous man will be remembered forever.
7He does not fear bad news;
his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
8His heart is assured; he does not fear,
until he looks in triumph on his foes.
9He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever;
his horn will be lifted high in honor.
10The wicked man will see and be grieved;
he will gnash his teeth and waste away;
the desires of the wicked will perish.
