Psalmorum 112

1 Alleluia. Reversionis Aggæi, et Zachariæ. Beatus vir, qui timet Dominum: in mandatis eius volet nimis.

Praise ye Jehovah. Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah, That delighteth greatly in his commandments.

2 Potens in terra erit semen eius: generatio rectorum benedicetur.

His seed shall be mighty upon earth: The generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3 Gloria, et divitiæ in domo eius: et iustitia eius manet in sæculum sæculi.

Wealth and riches are in his house; And his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 Exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis: misericors, et miserator, et iustus.

Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: [He is] gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

5 Iucundus homo qui miseretur et commodat, disponet sermones suos in iudicio:

Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth; He shall maintain his cause in judgment.

6 quia in æternum non commovebitur.

For he shall never be moved; The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.

7 In memoria æterna erit iustus: ab auditione mala non timebit. Paratum cor eius sperare in Domino,

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: His heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah.

8 confirmatum est cor eius: non commovebitur donec despiciat inimicos suos.

His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, Until he see [his desire] upon his adversaries.

9 Dispersit, dedit pauperibus: iustitia eius manet in sæculum sæculi, cornu eius exaltabitur in gloria.

He hath dispersed, he hath given to the needy; His righteousness endureth for ever: His horn shall be exalted with honor.

10 Peccator videbit, et irascetur, dentibus suis fremet et tabescet: desiderium peccatorum peribit.

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