Psalms 112

1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed [is] the man [that] feareth the LORD, [that] delighteth greatly 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 Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

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

4 To the upright there ariseth light in darkness: [he is] gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

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

5 A good man showeth favor, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

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

6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

quia in æternum non commovebitur.

7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.

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

8 His heart [is] established, he shall not be afraid, until he seeth [his desire] upon his enemies.

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

9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honor.

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

10 The wicked shall see [it], and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

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