Psalm 112

Have not had time to read the bible recently. This morning, whilst in the car to work, I flipped open the Bible and told YL that perhaps we should memorise a Psalm together. Randomly, I flipped to Psalm 112, and having eyed it through, decided that this is a nice Psalm to memorise, as it encourages us in our daily walk with him and is also a reminder of God's promises.

Psalm 112
1 Praise the LORD.
Blessed is the man who fears the LORD,
w
ho finds great delight in his commands.
2 His children 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 Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,
for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man.
5 Good will come to him who is generous and
lends freely,
who conducts his affairs with justice.
6 Surely he will never be shaken;

a righteous man will be remembered forever.
7 He will have no fear of bad news;
his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is secure, he will have no fear;
in the end he will look in triump on his foes.

9 He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor,
his righteousness endures forever;
his horn will be lifted high in honor.
10 The wicked man will see and be vexed,
he will gnash his teeth and waste away;
the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.
