Psalm 112, side by side

¹Hallelujah! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in His commandments.

¹Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

²His descendants will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.

²His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

³Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.

³Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

⁴Light dawns in the darkness for the upright— for the gracious, compassionate, and righteous.

⁴Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

⁵It is well with the man who is generous and lends freely, whose affairs are guided by justice.

⁵A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

⁶Surely he will never be shaken; the righteous man will be remembered forever.

⁶Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

⁷He does not fear bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

⁷He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.

⁸His heart is assured; he does not fear, until he looks in triumph on his foes.

⁸His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.

⁹He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor.

⁹He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

¹⁰The wicked man will see and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the desires of the wicked will perish.

¹⁰The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
