Psalmorum 112

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

Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.

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

Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed.

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

Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.

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

Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

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

Good [is] the man — gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.

6 quia in æternum non commovebitur.

For — to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.

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

Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.

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

Sustained is his heart — he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.

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

He hath scattered — hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.

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

The wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!
