Psalms 112

1 Let the Lord be praised. Happy is the man who gives honour to the Lord, and has great delight in his laws.

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

2 His seed will be strong on the earth; blessings will be on the generation of the upright.

Potens in terra erit semen ejus; generatio rectorum benedicetur.

3 A store of wealth will be in his house, and his righteousness will be for ever.

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

4 For the upright there is a light shining in the dark; he is full of grace and pity.

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

5 All is well for the man who is kind and gives freely to others; he will make good his cause when he is judged.

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

6 He will not ever be moved; the memory of the upright will be living for ever.

quia in æternum non commovebitur.

7 He will have no fear of evil news; his heart is fixed, for his hope is in the Lord.

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

8 His heart is resting safely, he will have no fear, till he sees trouble come on his haters.

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

9 He has given with open hands to the poor; his righteousness is for ever; his horn will be lifted up with honour.

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

10 The sinner will see it with grief; he will be wasted away with envy; the desire of the evil-doers will come to nothing.

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