< Psalms 112 >
1 Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who delights greatly in his commandments.
Alleluia. Reversionis Aggæi, et Zachariæ. Beatus vir, qui timet Dominum: in mandatis eius volet nimis.
2 His offspring will be mighty in the land. The generation of the upright will be blessed.
Potens in terra erit semen eius: generatio rectorum benedicetur.
3 Wealth and riches are in his house. His righteousness endures forever.
Gloria, et divitiæ in domo eius: et iustitia eius manet in sæculum sæculi.
4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, merciful, and righteous.
Exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis: misericors, et miserator, et iustus.
5 It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgement.
Iucundus homo qui miseretur et commodat, disponet sermones suos in iudicio:
6 For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.
quia in æternum non commovebitur.
7 He will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
In memoria æterna erit iustus: ab auditione mala non timebit. Paratum cor eius sperare in Domino,
8 His heart is established. He will not be afraid in the end when he sees his adversaries.
confirmatum est cor eius: non commovebitur donec despiciat inimicos suos.
9 He has dispersed, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honour.
Dispersit, dedit pauperibus: iustitia eius manet in sæculum sæculi, cornu eius exaltabitur in gloria.
10 The wicked will see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of the wicked will perish.
Peccator videbit, et irascetur, dentibus suis fremet et tabescet: desiderium peccatorum peribit.
