Psalms 112

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

Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the Lord, that greatly delighteth 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.

Plenty and riches shall be in his house, and his righteousness shall endure for ever.

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

There ariseth in the darkness a light to the upright: he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

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

Well will it be with the man who is kind, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with justice.

6 for he schal not be moued with outen ende.

Surely unto eternity shall he not be moved: in everlasting remembrance shall the righteous be held.

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;

Of an evil report shall he not be afraid: his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.

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

Well supported is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until he looketh on [the punishment of] his assailants.

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 distributeth, he giveth to the needy: his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in 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.

The wicked shall see it, and be vexed; he will gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the longing of the wicked shall perish.
