Psalmorum 112

1 Alleluia. Reversionis Aggæi, et Zachariæ. Beatus vir, qui timet Dominum: in mandatis eius volet nimis.

Alleluia. Blessed is the man that fears the Lord: he will delight greatly in his commandments.

2 Potens in terra erit semen eius: generatio rectorum benedicetur.

His seed shall be mighty in the earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3 Gloria, et divitiæ in domo eius: et iustitia eius manet in sæculum sæculi.

Glory and riches shall be in his house; and his righteousness endures for evermore.

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

To the upright light has sprung up in darkness: he is pitiful, and merciful, and righteous.

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

The good man is he that pities and lends: he will direct his affairs with judgement.

6 quia in æternum non commovebitur.

For he shall not be moved for ever; the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

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

He shall not be afraid of [any] evil report: his heart is ready to trust in the Lord.

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

His heart is established, he shall not fear, till he shall see [his desire] upon his enemies.

9 Dispersit, dedit pauperibus: iustitia eius manet in sæculum sæculi, cornu eius exaltabitur in gloria.

He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for evermore: his horn shall be exalted with honour.

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

The sinner shall see and be angry, he shall gnash his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the sinner shall perish.
