Psalmorum 112

1 Alleluja, reversionis Aggæi et Zachariæ. Beatus vir qui timet Dominum: in mandatis ejus volet nimis.

Praise ye the LORD! Happy the man who feareth the LORD, Who taketh delight in his commandments!

2 Potens in terra erit semen ejus; generatio rectorum benedicetur.

His posterity shall be mighty on the earth; The race of the righteous shall be blessed.

3 Gloria et divitiæ in domo ejus, et justitia ejus manet in sæculum sæculi.

Wealth and riches shall be in his house; His righteousness shall endure for ever.

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

To the righteous shall arise light out of darkness; He is gracious and full of compassion and righteousness.

5 Jucundus homo qui miseretur et commodat; disponet sermones suos in judicio:

Happy the man who hath pity and lendeth! He shall sustain his cause in judgment;

6 quia in æternum non commovebitur.

Yea, he shall never be moved: The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

7 In memoria æterna erit justus; ab auditione mala non timebit. Paratum cor ejus sperare in Domino,

He is not afraid of evil tidings; His heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.

8 confirmatum est cor ejus; non commovebitur donec despiciat inimicos suos.

His heart is firm; he hath no fear, Till he see his desire upon his enemies.

9 Dispersit, dedit pauperibus; justitia ejus manet in sæculum sæculi: cornu ejus exaltabitur in gloria.

He hath scattered blessings; he hath given to the poor; His righteousness shall endure 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, and be grieved; He shall gnash his teeth, and melt away; The desire of the wicked shall perish.
