Psalms

Chapter 112

1 Praise God. Happy is the person who respects God and loves to follow His rules.

2 His children will be powerful on earth; the descendants of the good will be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches will be in his house, and his goodness will last forever.

4 For good people, light shines in the dark: they are kind, caring, and fair.

5 A good person is kind and lends; they manage their matters wisely.

6 He will surely not be shaken forever; the good person will always be remembered.

7 He will not fear bad news: his heart is steady, trusting in God.

8 His heart is steady, he will not be scared, until he sees what he wants happen to his enemies.

9 He has shared, he has given to the needy; his goodness lasts forever; his strength will be honored.

10 Bad people will see it and be upset; they will grind their teeth and fade away; what bad people want will vanish.
