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 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. 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 secure, he has no fears; in the end he will look in triumph on his adversaries.

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

He has scattered, 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.
