Psalms 112 Comparison: Bible in Basic English vs New Heart English Bible
Psalms 112
1Let the Lord be praised. Happy is the man who gives honour to the Lord, and has great delight in his laws.
2His seed will be strong on the earth; blessings will be on the generation of the upright.
3A store of wealth will be in his house, and his righteousness will be for ever.
4For the upright there is a light shining in the dark; he is full of grace and pity.
5All is well for the man who is kind and gives freely to others; he will make good his cause when he is judged.
6He will not ever be moved; the memory of the upright will be living for ever.
7He will have no fear of evil news; his heart is fixed, for his hope is in the Lord.
8His heart is resting safely, he will have no fear, till he sees trouble come on his haters.
9He has given with open hands to the poor; his righteousness is for ever; his horn will be lifted up with honour.
10The sinner will see it with grief; he will be wasted away with envy; the desire of the evil-doers will come to nothing.
Psalms 112
1Praise Yah! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who delights greatly in his commandments.
2His seed will be mighty in the land. The generation of the upright will be blessed.
3Wealth and riches are in his house. His righteousness endures forever.
4Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, merciful, and righteous.
5It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment.
6For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.
7He will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
8His heart is established, he will not be afraid until he gaze upon his adversaries.
9He has dispersed, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honor.
10The wicked will see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of the wicked will perish.
