Psalmorum 112

1 Alleluia, conversio Aggaei, et Zachariae. Beatus vir, qui timet Dominum: in mandatis eius volet nimis.

Hallelujah! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in His commandments.

2 Potens in terra erit semen eius: generatio rectorum benedicetur.

His descendants 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, and his righteousness endures forever.

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

Light dawns in the darkness for the upright— for the gracious, compassionate, and righteous.

5 Iucundus homo qui miseretur et commodat, disponet sermones suos in iudicio:

It is well with the man who is generous and lends freely, whose affairs are guided by justice.

6 quia in aeternum non commovebitur.

Surely he will never be shaken; the righteous man will be remembered forever.

7 In memoria aeterna erit iustus: ab auditione mala non timebit. Paratum cor eius sperare in Domino,

He does not fear bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

8 confirmatum est cor eius: non commovebitur donec despiciat inimicos suos.

His heart is assured; he does not fear, until he looks in triumph on his foes.

9 Dispersit, dedit pauperibus: iustitia eius manet in saeculum saeculi, cornu eius exaltabitur in gloria.

He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor.

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

The wicked man will see and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the desires of the wicked will perish.
