Psalmorum 112

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

Praise ye Yah! How happy is the man who revereth Yahweh, In his commandments, delighteth he greatly;

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

Mighty in the earth, shall be his seed, The generation of the upright, 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, and, his righteousness, standeth for aye.

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

Risen—in darkness, is light to the upright, The gracious and compassionate and righteous.

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

Well for a man showing favour and lending! He shall sustain his affairs with justice.

6 quia in æternum non commovebitur.

Surely, unto times age-abiding, shall he not be shaken, In remembrance, age-abiding, shall the righteous one remain;

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

Of evil tidings, shall he not be afraid, Established is his heart, led to trust in Yahweh;

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

Upheld is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until that he gazeth on his foes.

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

He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the needy, His righteousness, standeth for aye, His horn, shall be exalted in honour.

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

The lawless one, shall see, and be indignant, his teeth, will he gnash and melt away, The craving of the lawless, shall vanish.
