Psalmorum 112

1 alleluia reversionis Aggei et Zacchariae beatus vir qui timet Dominum in mandatis eius volet nimis

Praise ye Yah! How happy is the man who revereth Yahweh, In his commandments, delighteth he greatly;

2 potens in terra erit semen eius generatio rectorum benedicetur

Mighty in the earth, shall be his seed, 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, shall be in his house, and, his righteousness, standeth for aye.

4 exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis misericors et miserator et iustus

Risen—in darkness, is light to the upright, The gracious and compassionate and righteous.

5 iucundus homo qui miseretur et commodat disponet sermones suos in iudicio

Well for a man showing favour and lending! He shall sustain his affairs with justice.

6 quia in aeternum non commovebitur

Surely, unto times age-abiding, shall he not be shaken, In remembrance, age-abiding, shall the righteous one remain;

7 in memoria aeterna erit iustus ab auditione mala non timebit paratum cor eius sperare in Domino

Of evil tidings, shall he not be afraid, Established is his heart, led to trust in Yahweh;

8 confirmatum est cor eius non commovebitur donec dispiciat inimicos suos

Upheld is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until that he gazeth on his foes.

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, standeth for aye, His horn, shall be exalted in honour.

10 peccator videbit et irascetur dentibus suis fremet et tabescet desiderium peccatorum peribit

The lawless one, shall see, and be indignant, his teeth, will he gnash and melt away, The craving of the lawless, shall vanish.
