Psalms 112

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

Alleluja, reversionis Aggæi et Zachariæ. [Beatus vir qui timet Dominum: in mandatis ejus volet nimis.

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

Potens in terra erit semen ejus; generatio rectorum benedicetur.

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

Gloria et divitiæ in domo ejus, et justitia ejus manet in sæculum sæculi.

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

Exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis: misericors, et miserator, et justus.

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

Jucundus homo qui miseretur et commodat; disponet sermones suos in judicio:

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

quia in æternum non commovebitur.

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

In memoria æterna erit justus; ab auditione mala non timebit. Paratum cor ejus sperare in Domino,

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

confirmatum est cor ejus; non commovebitur donec despiciat inimicos suos.

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

Dispersit, dedit pauperibus; justitia ejus manet in sæculum sæculi: cornu ejus exaltabitur in gloria.

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

Peccator videbit, et irascetur; dentibus suis fremet et tabescet: desiderium peccatorum peribit.]
