Psalmorum 112

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

Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in His commandments.

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

His seed shall be mighty upon earth; the generation of the upright shall 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 merit endureth for ever.

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

Unto the upright He shineth as a light in the darkness, gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

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

Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth, that ordereth his affairs rightfully.

6 quia in aeternum non commovebitur.

For he shall never be moved; the righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.

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

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is stedfast, trusting in the LORD.

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

His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he gaze upon his adversaries.

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

He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the needy; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honour.

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

The wicked shall see it, and be vexed; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away; the desire of the wicked shall perish.
