Psalms 112

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

Alleluia. Of the return of Haggai and Zachariah. Blessed is the man who fears the Lord. He will prefer his commandments exceedingly.

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

His offspring will be powerful on the earth. The generation of the upright will be blessed.

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

Glory and wealth will be in his house, and his justice shall remain from age to age.

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

For the upright, a light has risen up in the darkness. He is merciful and compassionate and just.

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

Pleasing is the man who shows mercy and lends. He will order his words with judgment.

6 for he schal not be moued with outen ende.

For he will not be disturbed in eternity.

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;

The just one will be an everlasting memorial. He will not fear a report of disasters. His heart is prepared to hope in the Lord.

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

His heart has been confirmed. He will not be disturbed, until he looks down upon his enemies.

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 distributed, he has given to the poor. His justice shall remain from age to age. His horn shall be exalted in glory.

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

The sinner will see and become angry. He will gnash his teeth and waste away. The desire of sinners will perish.
