Psalms 112

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

Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.

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

Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is 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, And his righteousness is standing for ever.

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

Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

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

Good [is] the man — gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.

6 for he schal not be moued with outen ende.

For — to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.

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 he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.

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

Sustained is his heart — he feareth not, Till that he look on 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 hath scattered — hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.

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 seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!
