Psalm 112

1        Praise ye the Lord.  The man is bless'd

                   that fears the Lord aright,

          He who in his commandements

                   doth greatly take delight.

2        His seed and offspring powerful

                   shall be the earth upon:

          Of upright men blessed shall be

                   the generation.

3        Riches and wealth shall ever be

                   within his house in store;

          And his unspotted righteousness

                   endures for evermore.

4        Unto the upright light doth rise,

                   though he in darkness be:

          Compassionate, and merciful,

                   and righteous, is he.

5        A good man doth his favour shew,

                   and doth to others lend:

          He with discretion his affairs

                   will guide unto the end.

6        Surely there is not any thing

                   that ever shall him move:

          The righteous man's memorial

                   shall everlasting prove.

7        When he shall evil tidings hear,

                   he shall not be afraid:

          His heart is fix'd, his confidence

                   upon the Lord is stay'd.

8        His heart is firmly stablished,

                   afraid he shall not be,

          Until upon his enemies

                   he his desire shall see.

9        He hath dispers'd, giv'n to the poor;

                   his righteousness shall be

          To ages all; with honour shall

                   his horn be raised high.

10      The wicked shall it see, and fret,

                   his teeth gnash, melt away:

          What wicked men do most desire

                   shall utterly decay.
