< Psalmorum 112 >
1 Alleluia, conversio Aggaei, et Zachariae. Beatus vir, qui timet Dominum: in mandatis eius volet nimis.
Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who delights greatly in his commandments.
2 Potens in terra erit semen eius: generatio rectorum benedicetur.
His offspring will be mighty in the land. The generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Gloria, et divitiae in domo eius: et iustitia eius manet in saeculum saeculi.
Wealth and riches are in his house. His righteousness endures forever.
4 Exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis: misericors, et miserator, et iustus.
Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, merciful, and righteous.
5 Iucundus homo qui miseretur et commodat, disponet sermones suos in iudicio:
It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment.
6 quia in aeternum non commovebitur.
For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.
7 In memoria aeterna erit iustus: ab auditione mala non timebit. Paratum cor eius sperare in Domino,
He will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
8 confirmatum est cor eius: non commovebitur donec despiciat inimicos suos.
His heart is established. He will not be afraid in the end when he sees his adversaries.
9 Dispersit, dedit pauperibus: iustitia eius manet in saeculum saeculi, cornu eius exaltabitur in gloria.
He has dispersed, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honor.
10 Peccator videbit, et irascetur, dentibus suis fremet et tabescet: desiderium peccatorum peribit.
The wicked will see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of the wicked will perish.
