Psalms 112

1 Hallelujah! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in His commandments.

Alleluya. Blissid is the man that dredith the Lord; he schal wilne ful myche in hise comaundementis.

2 His descendants will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.

His seed schal be myyti in erthe; the generacioun of riytful men schal be blessid.

3 Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.

Glorie and richessis ben in his hous; and his riytfulnesse dwellith in to the world of world.

4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright— for the gracious, compassionate, and righteous.

Liyt is risun vp in derknessis to riytful men; the Lord is merciful in wille, and a merciful doere, and riytful.

5 It is well with the man who is generous and lends freely, whose affairs are guided by justice.

The man is merye, that doith merci, and leeneth; he disposith hise wordis in dom;

6 Surely he will never be shaken; the righteous man will be remembered forever.

for he schal not be moued with outen ende.

7 He does not fear bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

A iust man schal be in euerlastinge mynde; he schal not drede of an yuel heryng. His herte is redi for to hope in the Lord;

8 His heart is assured; he does not fear, until he looks in triumph on his foes.

his herte is confermed, he schal not be moued, til he dispise hise enemyes.

9 He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor.

He spredde abrood, he yaf to pore men; his riytwisnesse dwellith in to the world of world; his horn schal be reisid in glorie.

10 The wicked man will see and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the desires of the wicked will perish.

A synner schal se, and schal be wrooth; he schal gnaste with hise teeth, and schal faile; the desijr of synneris schal perische.
