Psalms 112

1 Alleluya. Blissid is the man that dredith the Lord; he schal wilne ful myche in hise comaundementis.

Praise ye Jehovah. Blessed is the man who fears Jehovah, who delights greatly in his commandments.

2 His seed schal be myyti in erthe; the generacioun of riytful men schal be blessid.

His seed shall be mighty upon earth. The generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3 Glorie and richessis ben in his hous; and his riytfulnesse dwellith in to the world of world.

Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.

4 Liyt is risun vp in derknessis to riytful men; the Lord is merciful in wille, and a merciful doere, and riytful.

To the upright there arises light in the darkness. He is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

5 The man is merye, that doith merci, and leeneth; he disposith hise wordis in dom;

It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He shall maintain his cause in judgment,

6 for he schal not be moued with outen ende.

for he shall never be moved. A righteous man shall be had in everlasting remembrance.

7 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;

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings. His heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah.

8 his herte is confermed, he schal not be moued, til he dispise hise enemyes.

His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, even until he looks over his adversaries.

9 He spredde abrood, he yaf to pore men; his riytwisnesse dwellith in to the world of world; his horn schal be reisid in glorie.

He has scattered, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn shall be exalted with honor.

10 A synner schal se, and schal be wrooth; he schal gnaste with hise teeth, and schal faile; the desijr of synneris schal perische.

A wicked man shall see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of wicked men shall perish.
