The One Hundred Twelfth Psalm

Beatus vir.


BLESSED is the man that feareth the LORD; * he hath great delight in his commandments.
 
His seed shall be mighty upon earth; * the generation of the faithful shall be blessed.
 
Riches and plenteousness shall be in his house; * and his righteousness endureth for ever.
 
Unto the godly there ariseth up light in the darkness; * he is merciful, loving, and righteous.
 
A good man is merciful, and lendeth; * and will guide his words with discretion.
 
For he shall never be moved: * and the righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.
 
He will not be afraid of any evil tidings; * for his heart standeth fast, and believeth in the LORD.
 
His heart is stablished, and will not shrink, * until he see his desire upon his enemies.
 
He hath dispersed abroad, and given to the poor, * and his righteousness remaineth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
 
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.
