< Psalms 112 >
1 Praise Yahweh! (Happy are/He is pleased with) those who revere him, those who happily obey his commands.
Alleluya. Blissid is the man that dredith the Lord; he schal wilne ful myche in hise comaundementis.
2 Their children will prosper in their land; and their descendants will be blessed [by God].
His seed schal be myyti in erthe; the generacioun of riytful men schal be blessid.
3 Their families [MTY] will be very wealthy [DOU], and [the results of] their righteous deeds will endure forever.
Glorie and richessis ben in his hous; and his riytfulnesse dwellith in to the world of world.
4 Godly/Righteous people are [like] lights [SIM] that shine in the darkness on those who are kind, merciful and righteous.
Liyt is risun vp in derknessis to riytful men; the Lord is merciful in wille, and a merciful doere, and riytful.
5 Things [will] go well for those who generously lend money to others and who conduct their businesses honestly.
The man is merye, that doith merci, and leeneth; he disposith hise wordis in dom;
6 Righteous people will not be overwhelmed/worried/distressed [because of their troubles], and they will never be forgotten [by other people].
for he schal not be moued with outen ende.
7 They are not afraid of [receiving] bad news; they confidently/completely trust in Yahweh.
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 They are confident and not afraid, because they know that they will see [God defeat] their enemies.
his herte is confermed, he schal not be moued, til he dispise hise enemyes.
9 They give things generously to poor/needy [people]; [the results of] their kind deeds will endure forever, and they [will] be exalted and honored.
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 Wicked people see those things and are angry; they gnash their teeth [angrily], but they [will] disappear [and die]. The [wicked] things that they want to do [will] never happen.
A synner schal se, and schal be wrooth; he schal gnaste with hise teeth, and schal faile; the desijr of synneris schal perische.
