Psalms 112

1 Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the Lord, that greatly delighteth in his commandments.

Alleluja, reversionis Aggæi et Zachariæ. Beatus vir qui timet Dominum: in mandatis ejus volet nimis.

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

Potens in terra erit semen ejus; generatio rectorum benedicetur.

3 Plenty and riches shall be in his house, and his righteousness shall endure for ever.

Gloria et divitiæ in domo ejus, et justitia ejus manet in sæculum sæculi.

4 There ariseth in the darkness a light to the upright: he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

Exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis: misericors, et miserator, et justus.

5 Well will it be with the man who is kind, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with justice.

Jucundus homo qui miseretur et commodat; disponet sermones suos in judicio:

6 Surely unto eternity shall he not be moved: in everlasting remembrance shall the righteous be held.

quia in æternum non commovebitur.

7 Of an evil report shall he not be afraid: his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.

In memoria æterna erit justus; ab auditione mala non timebit. Paratum cor ejus sperare in Domino,

8 Well supported is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until he looketh on [the punishment of] his assailants.

confirmatum est cor ejus; non commovebitur donec despiciat inimicos suos.

9 He distributeth, he giveth to the needy: his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honor.

Dispersit, dedit pauperibus; justitia ejus manet in sæculum sæculi: cornu ejus exaltabitur in gloria.

10 The wicked shall see it, and be vexed; he will gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the longing of the wicked shall perish.

Peccator videbit, et irascetur; dentibus suis fremet et tabescet: desiderium peccatorum peribit.
