Psalms 112

1 Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments.

Alleluia. Blessed is the man that fears the Lord: he will delight greatly in his commandments.

2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.

His seed shall be mighty in the earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3 Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.

Glory and riches shall be in his house; and his righteousness endures for evermore.

4 To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness: he is merciful, and compassionate and just.

To the upright light has sprung up in darkness: he is pitiful, and merciful, and righteous.

5 Acceptable is the man that showeth mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment:

The good man is he that pities and lends: he will direct his affairs with judgment.

6 Because he shall not be moved for ever.

For he shall not be moved for ever; the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

7 The just shall be in everlasting remembrance: he shall not hear the evil hearing. His heart is ready to hope in the Lord:

He shall not be afraid of [any] evil report: his heart is ready to trust in the Lord.

8 His heart is strengthened, he shall not be moved until he look over his enemies.

His heart is established, he shall not fear, till he shall see [his desire] upon his enemies.

9 He hath distributed, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever and ever: his horn shall be exalted in glory.

He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for evermore: his horn shall be exalted with honour.

10 The wicked shall see, and shall be angry, he shall gnash with his teeth and pine away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

The sinner shall see and be angry, he shall gnash his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the sinner shall perish.
