Psalms 112

1 Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man, that feareth the Lord, and deliteth greatly in his commandements.

Hallelujah. Happy are those who fear the Lord, and greatly delight in his commandments.

2 His seede shall be mightie vpon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.

Mighty on earth shall be their seed; a blessing shall rest on the race of the upright.

3 Riches and treasures shalbe in his house, and his righteousnesse endureth for euer.

Wealth and riches are in their houses, their prosperity stands forever.

4 Vnto the righteous ariseth light in darkenes: he is merciful and full of copassion and righteous.

To the upright arises light in the darkness; full of favor and pity and kindness are they.

5 A good man is mercifull and lendeth, and will measure his affaires by iudgement.

It is well with those who show pity and lend, who support all their affairs upon justice.

6 Surely he shall neuer be moued: but the righteous shalbe had in euerlasting remembrance.

For they will never be shaken; the just will be forever remembered.

7 He will not be afraide of euill tidings: for his heart is fixed, and beleeueth in the Lord.

They will not be afraid of evil tidings, with steady heart they trust the Lord.

8 His heart is stablished: therefore he will not feare, vntill he see his desire vpon his enemies.

Their heart is firm and unafraid: they know they will feast their eyes on their enemies.

9 He hath distributed and giuen to ye poore: his righteousnesse remaineth for euer: his horne shalbe exalted with glory.

With lavish hands they give to the poor, and their prosperity stands forever. They are lifted to heights of triumph and honor.

10 The wicked shall see it and be angrie: he shall gnash with his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

The sight of them fills the wicked with anger: grinding their teeth with despair. The hopes of the wicked will come to nothing.
