Psalms 112

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

Praise ye the LORD. Blessed [is] the man [that] feareth the LORD, [that] delighteth 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 [shall be] in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

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 ariseth light in darkness: [he is] gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

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

A good man showeth favor, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

6 for he schal not be moued with outen ende.

Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be 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 the LORD.

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

His heart [is] established, he shall not be afraid, until he seeth [his desire] 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 hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; 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.

The wicked shall see [it], and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
