Psalms 112

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Because he shall not be moved for ever.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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