< Psalms 112 >
1 Alleluia. Blessed is the man that fears the Lord: he will delight greatly in his commandments.
Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
2 His seed shall be mighty in the earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3 Glory and riches shall be in his house; and his righteousness endures for evermore.
Wealth and riches are in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4 To the upright light has sprung up in darkness: he is pitiful, and merciful, and righteous.
Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: [he is] gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 The good man is he that pities and lends: he will direct his affairs with judgement.
Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth; he shall maintain his cause in judgment.
6 For he shall not be moved for ever; the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
For he shall never be moved; the righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.
7 He shall not be afraid of [any] evil report: his heart is ready to trust in the Lord.
He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is established, he shall not fear, till he shall see [his desire] upon his enemies.
His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see [his desire] upon his adversaries.
9 He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for evermore: his horn shall be exalted with honour.
He hath dispersed, he hath given to the needy; his righteousness endureth for ever: his horn shall be exalted with honour.
10 The sinner shall see and be angry, he shall gnash his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the sinner shall perish.
The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
