Psalm 112 Beatus vir

BLESSED is the man that feareth the LORD; * he hath great delight in his commandments.

2His seed shall be mighty upon earth; * the generation of the faithful shall be blessed.

3Riches and plenteousness shall be in his house; * and his righteousness endureth for ever.

4Unto the godly there ariseth up light in the darkness; * he is merciful, loving, and righteous.

5A good man is merciful, and lendeth; * and will guide his words with discretion.

6For he shall never be moved: * and the righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.

7He will not be afraid of any evil tidings; * for his heart standeth fast, and believeth in the LORD.

8His heart is stablished, and will not shrink, * until he see his desire upon his enemies.

9He hath dispersed abroad, and given to the poor; * and his righteousness remaineth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

10The 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.
