Sreća pravednika

[a]112 Slava BOGU!

Blago čovjeku koji poštuje BOGA,
    koji voli živjeti po njegovim pravilima.
Potomstvo će mu biti moćno,
    naraštaj pravednika na zemlji.
U kući mu je bogatstvo i blagostanje,
    njegova pravednost zauvijek traje.
Vjernom čovjeku i u tami je svjetlo
    ako je blag, suosjećajan i pravedan.
Dobro je čovjeku koji je darežljiv,
    koji rado daje i pošten je u poslu.
Jer, pravednik neće nikad posrnuti,
    njega će se uvijek netko sjećati.
Ne mora se bojati loših vijesti
    i postojano vjeruje u BOGA.
Nije zabrinut i ne strahuje,
    porazit će sve neprijatelje.
Nesebično daje siromašnima,
    o njegovim djelima dugo se priča.
    On zaslužuje veliku čast.

10 A loši ljudi se ljute i zavide mu,
    mrze ga, ali poslije nestanu.
    Ono što žele nikad ne dobiju.

Psalm 112[a]

Praise the Lord.[b](A)

Blessed are those(B) who fear the Lord,(C)
    who find great delight(D) in his commands.

Their children(E) will be mighty in the land;
    the generation of the upright will be blessed.
Wealth and riches(F) are in their houses,
    and their righteousness endures(G) forever.
Even in darkness light dawns(H) for the upright,
    for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.(I)
Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,(J)
    who conduct their affairs with justice.

Surely the righteous will never be shaken;(K)
    they will be remembered(L) forever.
They will have no fear of bad news;
    their hearts are steadfast,(M) trusting in the Lord.(N)
Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear;(O)
    in the end they will look in triumph on their foes.(P)
They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor,(Q)
    their righteousness endures(R) forever;
    their horn[c] will be lifted(S) high in honor.

10 The wicked will see(T) and be vexed,
    they will gnash their teeth(U) and waste away;(V)
    the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.(W)
