Daily Bible GNT September 10 Verses

The Happiness of a Good Person

Psalm 112 Praise the LORD!

Happy is the person who honors the LORD,

who takes pleasure in obeying his commands.

²The good man's children will be powerful in the land;

his descendants will be blessed.

³His family will be wealthy and rich,

and he will be prosperous forever.

⁴Light shines in the darkness for good people,

for those who are merciful, kind, and just.

⁵Happy is the person who is generous with his loans,

who runs his business honestly.

⁶A good person will never fail;

he will always be remembered.

⁷He is not afraid of receiving bad news;

his faith is strong, and he trusts in the LORD.

⁸He is not worried or afraid;

he is certain to see his enemies defeated.

⁹He gives generously to the needy,

and his kindness never fails;

he will be powerful and respected.

¹⁰The wicked see this and are angry;

they glare in hate and disappear;

their hopes are gone forever.
