Psalms 111
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 a2 Cor. 9. 9.
He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures
for evermore: his horn shall be exalted with honour.
10 The sinner shall see and be angry,
he shall gnash his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the sinner shall
perish.
