Psalms 112

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

Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who delights greatly in his commandments.

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

His offspring will be mighty in the land. 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.

Wealth and riches are in his house. 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.

Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, 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 will maintain his cause in judgment.

6 for he schal not be moued with outen ende.

For he will never be shaken. The righteous 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 will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

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

His heart is established. He will not be afraid in the end when he sees 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 dispersed, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn 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 will see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of the wicked will perish.
