< Psalms 112 >
1 Praise ye the LORD! Happy the man who feareth the LORD, Who taketh delight in his commandments!
Alleluya. Blissid is the man that dredith the Lord; he schal wilne ful myche in hise comaundementis.
2 His posterity shall be mighty on the earth; The race of the righteous shall be blessed.
His seed schal be myyti in erthe; the generacioun of riytful men schal be blessid.
3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house; His righteousness shall endure for ever.
Glorie and richessis ben in his hous; and his riytfulnesse dwellith in to the world of world.
4 To the righteous shall arise light out of darkness; He is gracious and full of compassion and righteousness.
Liyt is risun vp in derknessis to riytful men; the Lord is merciful in wille, and a merciful doere, and riytful.
5 Happy the man who hath pity and lendeth! He shall sustain his cause in judgment;
The man is merye, that doith merci, and leeneth; he disposith hise wordis in dom;
6 Yea, he shall never be moved: The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
for he schal not be moued with outen ende.
7 He is not afraid of evil tidings; His heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.
A iust man schal be in euerlastinge mynde; he schal not drede of an yuel heryng. His herte is redi for to hope in the Lord;
8 His heart is firm; he hath no fear, Till he see his desire upon his enemies.
his herte is confermed, he schal not be moued, til he dispise hise enemyes.
9 He hath scattered blessings; he hath given to the poor; His righteousness shall endure for ever; His horn shall be exalted with honor.
He spredde abrood, he yaf to pore men; his riytwisnesse dwellith in to the world of world; his horn schal be reisid in glorie.
10 The wicked shall see, and be grieved; He shall gnash his teeth, and melt away; The desire of the wicked shall perish.
A synner schal se, and schal be wrooth; he schal gnaste with hise teeth, and schal faile; the desijr of synneris schal perische.
