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