Psalmorum 112

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

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

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

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

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

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

6 quia in æternum non commovebitur.

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

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

His heart [is] established, he shall not be afraid, until he seeth [his desire] upon his enemies.

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

He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; 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.
