Psalms 112

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

Let the Lord be praised. Happy is the man who gives honour to the Lord, and has great delight in his laws.

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

His seed will be strong on the earth; blessings will be on the generation of the upright.

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

A store of wealth will be in his house, and his righteousness will be for ever.

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

For the upright there is a light shining in the dark; he is full of grace and pity.

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

All is well for the man who is kind and gives freely to others; he will make good his cause when he is judged.

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

He will not ever be moved; the memory of the upright will be living for ever.

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

He will have no fear of evil news; his heart is fixed, for his hope is in the Lord.

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

His heart is resting safely, he will have no fear, till he sees trouble come on his haters.

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

He has given with open hands to the poor; his righteousness is for ever; his horn will be lifted up with honour.

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

The sinner will see it with grief; he will be wasted away with envy; the desire of the evil-doers will come to nothing.
