Psalms 112:2-3

112:2 His descendants ¹  will be powerful on the earth;

the godly ²  will be blessed.

112:3 His house contains wealth and riches;

his integrity endures. ³ 

[112:2]  ¹ tn Or “offspring”; Heb “seed.”

[112:2]  ² tn Heb “His seed will be mighty on the earth, the generation of the godly.” The Hebrew term דוֹר (dor, “generation”) could be taken as parallel to “offspring” and translated “posterity,” but the singular more likely refers to the godly as a class. See BDB 189-90 s.v. for other examples where “generation” refers to a class of people.

[112:3]  ³ tn Heb “stands forever.”
