< Psalms 112 >

1 Alleluia. Blessed is the man that fears the Lord: he will delight greatly in his commandments. 2 His seed shall be mighty in the earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. 3 Glory and riches shall be in his house; and his righteousness endures for evermore. 4 To the upright light has sprung up in darkness: he is pitiful, and merciful, and righteous. 5 The good man is he that pities and lends: he will direct his affairs with judgment. 6 For he shall not be moved for ever; the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. 7 He shall not be afraid of [any] evil report: his heart is ready to trust in the Lord. 8 His heart is established, he shall not fear, till he shall see [his desire] upon his enemies. 9 He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for evermore: his horn shall be exalted with honor. 10 The sinner shall see and be angry, he shall gnash his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the sinner shall perish.
