The Blessed State of the Righteous (Notes from Psalm 112)

Godly practices:
          Praise the Lord!
          Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
          who delights greatly in His commandments. (:1)
          lead righteous and upright life
          He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous and good man (:4,5)
       
Blessings:
        His descendants will be mighty on earth;
       The generation of the upright will be blessed.
       Wealth and riches will be in his house,
        And his righteousness endures forever.
       Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness;
       He will guide his affairs with discretion.
       Surely he will never be shaken;
       The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.
       He will not be afraid of evil tidings;
      His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
      His heart is established; he will not be afraid,
      Until he sees his desire upon his enemies.
     He has dispersed abroad, he has given to the poor;
     His righteousness endures forever;
      his horn will be exalted with honor. (:2-9)

Wicked :
     The wicked will see it and be grieved;
     He will gnash his teeth and melt away;
     The desire of the wicked shall perish. (:10)
