Psalms 112

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

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

2 His seede shall be mightie vpon 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 Riches and treasures shalbe in his house, and his righteousnesse endureth for euer.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

7 He will not be afraide of euill tidings: for his heart is fixed, and beleeueth 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 stablished: therefore he will not feare, vntill he see his desire vpon his enemies.

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

9 He hath distributed and giuen to ye poore: his righteousnesse remaineth for euer: his horne shalbe exalted with 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 it and be angrie: he shall gnash with his teeth, and consume 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.
