Psalms 112

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

alleluia reversionis Aggei et Zacchariae beatus vir qui timet Dominum in mandatis eius volet nimis

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

potens in terra erit semen eius generatio rectorum benedicetur

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

gloria et divitiae in domo eius et iustitia eius manet in saeculum saeculi

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

exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis misericors et miserator et iustus

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

iucundus homo qui miseretur et commodat disponet sermones suos in iudicio

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

quia in aeternum non commovebitur

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

in memoria aeterna erit iustus ab auditione mala non timebit paratum cor eius sperare in Domino

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

confirmatum est cor eius non commovebitur donec dispiciat inimicos suos

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

dispersit dedit pauperibus iustitia eius manet in saeculum saeculi cornu eius exaltabitur in gloria

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.

peccator videbit et irascetur dentibus suis fremet et tabescet desiderium peccatorum peribit
