This poem continues where psalm 111 left off last week. Both poems are acrostic to reflect the fact that both psalms are acrostic in the original Hebrew.
Psalm 112
Kindle delight in God’s commandments and be blessed!
Living mightily in the land will be generations of the saints
Multitudes of riches are in Christ
Never-ending is His righteousness
On the upright dawns the light of Christ
Prevailing even over the darkness of the grave
Quietly confident are righteous ones
Rich in generosity and justice
Steadfastly trusting in the Lord
Triumph over foes will come
Until then saints remember Christ
Victorious over the greatest foe death
Wicked men are angry because
EXalted in honor is Christ
Yahweh melts the wicked to butter
Zion stands forever but the wicked perish
