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 greatly delighteth 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.

Plenty and riches shall be in his house, and his righteousness shall endure for ever.

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

There ariseth in the darkness a light to the upright: he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

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

Well will it be with the man who is kind, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with justice.

6 quia in aeternum non commovebitur.

Surely unto eternity shall he not be moved: in everlasting remembrance shall the righteous be held.

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

Of an evil report shall he not be afraid: his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.

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

Well supported is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until he looketh on [the punishment of] his assailants.

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

He distributeth, he giveth to the needy: his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honor.

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

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