< Psalmorum 112 >
1 Alleluja, reversionis Aggæi et Zachariæ. [Beatus vir qui timet Dominum: in mandatis ejus volet nimis.
Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who delights greatly in his commandments.
2 Potens in terra erit semen ejus; generatio rectorum benedicetur.
His offspring will be mighty in the land. The generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Gloria et divitiæ in domo ejus, et justitia ejus manet in sæculum sæculi.
Wealth and riches are in his house. His righteousness endures forever.
4 Exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis: misericors, et miserator, et justus.
Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, merciful, and righteous.
5 Jucundus homo qui miseretur et commodat; disponet sermones suos in judicio:
It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment.
6 quia in æternum non commovebitur.
For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.
7 In memoria æterna erit justus; ab auditione mala non timebit. Paratum cor ejus sperare in Domino,
He will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
8 confirmatum est cor ejus; non commovebitur donec despiciat inimicos suos.
His heart is established. He will not be afraid in the end when he sees his adversaries.
9 Dispersit, dedit pauperibus; justitia ejus manet in sæculum sæculi: cornu ejus exaltabitur in gloria.
He has dispersed, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honor.
10 Peccator videbit, et irascetur; dentibus suis fremet et tabescet: desiderium peccatorum peribit.]
The wicked will see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of the wicked will perish.
