Psalms 112

The Blessed Fear of the LORD

(Psalm 128:1–6)

1Hallelujah! Blessed is the man^a who fears the LORD, who delights greatly in his commandments^b.
2His seed will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness stands forever.
4Light shines in the darkness for the upright; gracious and compassionate and righteous.
5Good is the man who is gracious and lends; he conducts his affairs with judgment^c.
6For he will never be moved; the righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.
7He will not fear an evil report; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
8His heart is upheld, he will not fear, until he looks upon his foes.
9He has scattered, he has given to the needy; his righteousness stands forever; his horn will be exalted in honor.
10The wicked will see and be vexed; he will gnash his teeth and melt away; the desire of the wicked will perish.
