Psalm 112

Abraham Coles

2 Mighty shall his offspring be;
Blest with great prosperity;
3 Wealth be in his house and hand;
Aye his righteousness shall stand.

4 There arises to the upright,
In the midst of darkness, light:
Righteous he, compassionate,
Kind to the unfortunate.

5 Happy he who favor shows,
Lends, or generously bestows;
He'll his course by justice guide,
6 And unmoved shall e'er abide:

And his righteousness shall be
Always kept in memory —
Fixed his heart and void of fear,
Trusting, loving, and sincere.

7 Of bad news he's not afraid;
On the Lord his heart is stayed;
8 He shall no misgivings own,
Till his foes are overthrown.

9 He has to the needy given;
He accepted is of Heaven!
High his horn shall lifted be;
10 Grieved the wicked shall it see.
