Psalms 112

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

Praise Yahweh. Blessed is the man who obeys Yahweh, who greatly delights in his commandments.

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

His descendants will be powerful on earth; the descendants of the godly man will 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; his righteousness will endure forever.

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

Light shines in the darkness for the godly person; he is gracious, merciful, and just.

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

It goes well for the man who deals graciously and lends money, who conducts his affairs with honesty.

6 for he schal not be moued with outen ende.

For he will never be moved; the righteous person will be remembered forever.

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 does not fear bad news; he is confident, trusting in Yahweh.

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

His heart is tranquil, without fear, until he looks in triumph 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 generously gives to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; he will 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.

The wicked person will see this and be angry; he will grind his teeth in rage and he will melt away; the desire of the wicked people will perish.
