Psalm 112:1-9 - Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!) Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who fears (reveres and worships) the Lord, who delights greatly in His commandments. 2 His children shall be mighty upon earth; the generation of the upright shall be blessed. 3 Prosperity and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. 4 Light arises in the darkness for the upright, gracious, compassionate, and just [who are in right standing with God]. 5 It is well with the man who deals generously and lends, who conducts his affairs with justice. 6 Surely, he will not be shaken or moved forever; the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. 7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is firmly fixed, trusting (leaning on and being confident) in the Lord. 8 His heart is established and steady, he will not be afraid while he waits to see his desire established upon his adversaries. 9 He has distributed freely [he has given to the poor and needy]; his righteousness endures forever; his horn shall be exalted in honor.
The Blessed Person is:
- To be envied
- Their children will be mighty upon the earth.
- Our generation will be blessed, by our blessing.
- Prosperity and riches are in their house.
- Their righteousness endures forever.
- Light comes in darkness.
- A person who conducts their business affairs righteously and is the lender, not the borrower.
- They aren't moved by evil reports.
- Their heart is fixed upon God or they are governed by what they believe.
- They have no fear, knowing God has delivered them from the power of their enemies.
- They are givers to those in need.
- They are honored by God.
