The Key Word — שְׁמוּעָה, shmuw`ahgenerated
The word שְׁמוּעָה (shmuw`ah) is a feminine noun derived from the root שָׁמַע (to hear), meaning a report or announcement. It encompasses various forms of news, including tidings and rumors, often related to communication and information sharing.
In this verse, it refers specifically to bad news, indicating that the righteous person does not allow such reports to instill fear. The parsing as a noun in the singular form suggests a specific instance of news, reinforcing the personal nature of the experience.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against. The BSB uses bad, which is also reflected in the KJV and ASV, both of which maintain the sense of negativity associated with the news.
Where others part company with the BSB they part company over the word רָעָה — evil is chosen by the ASV, KJV, and others, while the BSB and several modern translations opt for bad, highlighting a slight variation in the interpretation of the severity of the news.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb יִירָ֑א (yi.Ra'), meaning 'he will be afraid,' governs the structure of the verse, with a negation and two phrases describing the subject's heart and trust. The main clause is supported by a prepositional phrase indicating the source of fear and a noun phrase that describes the heart's condition.
The word order emphasizes the negation לֹ֣א (lo'), placing it at the beginning of the clause to highlight the absence of fear in the face of bad news.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates שְׁמוּעָה as ἀκοῆς (akoēs), meaning 'hearing' or 'report.' This choice reflects a focus on the act of receiving news rather than the content itself, which can imply a broader interpretation of how one responds to information.
The translation of רָעָה as πονηρᾶς (ponēras) emphasizes the moral implications of the bad news, aligning with the negative connotations of evil.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Psalm 112:7 tells us that a righteous person does not fear bad news. Their heart is steady and trusting in the LORD. This reflects a deep confidence in God's care and provision, even when faced with troubling circumstances.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
It means that they maintain their composure and trust in God, regardless of negative reports or circumstances.
A steadfast heart is developed through faith and trust in God, often strengthened through prayer, scripture, and community support.
Trust in God provides a foundation of peace and assurance, allowing individuals to navigate challenges without succumbing to fear.

יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'
