¹Praise Yah! Psalm 112 is an acrostic poem, with each verse after the initial “Praise Yah!” starting with a letter of the alphabet (ordered from Alef to Tav). Blessed is the man who fears Yahweh, who delights greatly in his commandments.

¹הללו יה אשרי איש ירא את יהוה במצותיו חפץ מאד׃

²His seed will be mighty in the land. The generation of the upright will be blessed.

²גבור בארץ יהיה זרעו דור ישרים יברך׃

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

³הון ועשר בביתו וצדקתו עמדת לעד׃

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

⁴זרח בחשך אור לישרים חנון ורחום וצדיק׃

⁵It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment.

⁵טוב איש חונן ומלוה יכלכל דבריו במשפט׃

⁶For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.

⁶כי לעולם לא ימוט לזכר עולם יהיה צדיק׃

⁷He will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in Yahweh.

⁷משמועה רעה לא יירא נכון לבו בטח ביהוה׃

⁸His heart is established. He will not be afraid in the end when he sees his adversaries.

⁸סמוך לבו לא יירא עד אשר יראה בצריו׃

⁹He has dispersed, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honor.

⁹פזר נתן לאביונים צדקתו עמדת לעד קרנו תרום בכבוד׃

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

¹⁰רשע יראה וכעס שניו יחרק ונמס תאות רשעים תאבד׃
