Psalm 112

1 Hallelujah!

Blessed is the person who fears Yahweh
    and is happy to obey his commands.
        
        The family of a decent person will be blessed.
            
            His righteousness continues forever.
4 Light will shine in the dark for a decent person.
    He is merciful, compassionate, and fair.

5 All goes well for the person who is generous and lends willingly.
    He earns an honest living.
        
        A righteous person will always be remembered.
            
            His heart remains secure, full of confidence in Yahweh.
            
                In the end he will look triumphantly at his enemies.
            
            His righteousness continues forever.
            His head is raised in honor.
10 The wicked person sees this and becomes angry.
    He angrily grits his teeth and disappears.
        The hope that wicked people have will vanish.

PRAYER:

Psalm 16

1 Protect me, O El, because I take refuge in you.

2 I said to Yahweh,

    “You are my Adonay. Without you, I have nothing good.”

3 Those who lead holy lives on earth

    are the noble ones who fill me with joy.

4 Those who quickly chase after other gods multiply their sorrows.

    I will not pour out their sacrificial offerings of blood

        or use my lips to speak their names.

5 Yahweh is my inheritance and my cup.

    You are the one who determines my destiny.

6 Your boundary lines mark out pleasant places for me.

    Indeed, my inheritance is something beautiful.

7 I will praise Yahweh, who advises me.

    My conscience warns me at night.

8 I always keep Yahweh in front of me.

    When he is by my side, I cannot be moved.

9         That is why my heart is glad and my soul rejoices.

            My body rests securely

10 because you do not abandon my soul to the grave

    or allow your holy one to decay.

11 You make the path of life known to me.

    Complete joy is in your presence.

        Pleasures are by your side forever.
