Psalms 112

1 Praise Yahweh! (Happy are/He is pleased with) those who revere him, those who happily obey his commands.

Alleluia. Reversionis Aggæi, et Zachariæ. Beatus vir, qui timet Dominum: in mandatis eius volet nimis.

2 Their children will prosper in their land; and their descendants will be blessed [by God].

Potens in terra erit semen eius: generatio rectorum benedicetur.

3 Their families [MTY] will be very wealthy [DOU], and [the results of] their righteous deeds will endure forever.

Gloria, et divitiæ in domo eius: et iustitia eius manet in sæculum sæculi.

4 Godly/Righteous people are [like] lights [SIM] that shine in the darkness on those who are kind, merciful and righteous.

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

5 Things [will] go well for those who generously lend money to others and who conduct their businesses honestly.

Iucundus homo qui miseretur et commodat, disponet sermones suos in iudicio:

6 Righteous people will not be overwhelmed/worried/distressed [because of their troubles], and they will never be forgotten [by other people].

quia in æternum non commovebitur.

7 They are not afraid of [receiving] bad news; they confidently/completely trust in Yahweh.

In memoria æterna erit iustus: ab auditione mala non timebit. Paratum cor eius sperare in Domino,

8 They are confident and not afraid, because they know that they will see [God defeat] their enemies.

confirmatum est cor eius: non commovebitur donec despiciat inimicos suos.

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.

Dispersit, dedit pauperibus: iustitia eius manet in sæculum sæculi, cornu eius exaltabitur in gloria.

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.

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