Psalms 112

1 Praise the Lord! Happy are those who respect the Lord, who love to do what he says!

Alleluya. Blissid is the man that dredith the Lord; he schal wilne ful myche in hise comaundementis.

2 Their descendants will prosper in the land; the children of those who do good will be blessed.

His seed schal be myyti in erthe; the generacioun of riytful men schal be blessid.

3 Their families will be wealthy; the good they do has eternal results.

Glorie and richessis ben in his hous; and his riytfulnesse dwellith in to the world of world.

4 Light shines in the darkness for those who live right, for those who are gracious, compassionate, and good.

Liyt is risun vp in derknessis to riytful men; the Lord is merciful in wille, and a merciful doere, and riytful.

5 Good things come to those who are generous in their lending and are honest in doing business.

The man is merye, that doith merci, and leeneth; he disposith hise wordis in dom;

6 They will never fall. Those who live right won't be forgotten.

for he schal not be moued with outen ende.

7 They aren't afraid of bad news because they rely totally on the Lord.

A iust man schal be in euerlastinge mynde; he schal not drede of an yuel heryng. His herte is redi for to hope in the Lord;

8 They are confident and brave, and see their enemies defeated.

his herte is confermed, he schal not be moued, til he dispise hise enemyes.

9 They share generously, giving to the poor; the good they do has eternal results. They are greatly respected.

He spredde abrood, he yaf to pore men; his riytwisnesse dwellith in to the world of world; his horn schal be reisid in glorie.

10 The wicked observe all this and are mad; they gnash their teeth in anger. They waste away, and all that they hoped for comes to nothing.

A synner schal se, and schal be wrooth; he schal gnaste with hise teeth, and schal faile; the desijr of synneris schal perische.
