Psalms 112

1 Alleluia. Of the return of Haggai and Zachariah. Blessed is the man who fears the Lord. He will prefer his commandments exceedingly.

Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man, that feareth the Lord, and deliteth greatly in his commandements.

2 His offspring will be powerful on the earth. The generation of the upright will be blessed.

His seede shall be mightie vpon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.

3 Glory and wealth will be in his house, and his justice shall remain from age to age.

Riches and treasures shalbe in his house, and his righteousnesse endureth for euer.

4 For the upright, a light has risen up in the darkness. He is merciful and compassionate and just.

Vnto the righteous ariseth light in darkenes: he is merciful and full of copassion and righteous.

5 Pleasing is the man who shows mercy and lends. He will order his words with judgment.

A good man is mercifull and lendeth, and will measure his affaires by iudgement.

6 For he will not be disturbed in eternity.

Surely he shall neuer be moued: but the righteous shalbe had in euerlasting remembrance.

7 The just one will be an everlasting memorial. He will not fear a report of disasters. His heart is prepared to hope in the Lord.

He will not be afraide of euill tidings: for his heart is fixed, and beleeueth in the Lord.

8 His heart has been confirmed. He will not be disturbed, until he looks down upon his enemies.

His heart is stablished: therefore he will not feare, vntill he see his desire vpon his enemies.

9 He has distributed, he has given to the poor. His justice shall remain from age to age. His horn shall be exalted in glory.

He hath distributed and giuen to ye poore: his righteousnesse remaineth for euer: his horne shalbe exalted with glory.

10 The sinner will see and become angry. He will gnash his teeth and waste away. The desire of sinners will perish.

The wicked shall see it and be angrie: he shall gnash with his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
