Psalm 112. Beatus vir.
BLESSED is the man that feareth the LORD; * he hath great delight
in his commandments.
2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth; * the generation of the
faithful shall be blessed.
3 Riches and plenteousness shall be in his house; * and his righteousness
endureth for ever.
4 Unto the godly there ariseth up light in the darkness; * he
is merciful, loving, and righteous.
5 A good man is merciful, and lendeth; * and will guide his words
with discretion.
6 For he shall never be moved: * and the righteous shall be had
in everlasting remembrance.
7 He will not be afraid of any evil tidings; * for his heart
standeth fast, and believeth in the LORD.
8 His heart is stablished, and will not shrink, * until he see
his desire upon his enemies.
9 He hath dispersed abroad, and given to the poor. * and his
righteousness remaineth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with
honour.
10 The ungodly shall see it, and it shall grieve him; * he shall
gnash with his teeth, and consume away; the desire of the ungodly
shall perish.
