Psalmorum 112

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

Praise Yahweh. Blessed is the man who obeys Yahweh, who greatly delights in his commandments.

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

His descendants will be powerful on earth; the descendants of the godly man 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 will endure forever.

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

Light shines in the darkness for the godly person; he is gracious, merciful, and just.

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

It goes well for the man who deals graciously and lends money, who conducts his affairs with honesty.

6 quia in æternum non commovebitur.

For he will never be moved; the righteous person will be remembered forever.

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

He does not fear bad news; he is confident, trusting in Yahweh.

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

His heart is tranquil, without fear, until he looks in triumph over his adversaries.

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

He generously gives to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; he will be exalted with honor.

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

The wicked person will see this and be angry; he will grind his teeth in rage and he will melt away; the desire of the wicked people will perish.
