Psalms 112
1The `title of the hundrid and twelfthe salm. Alleluya. Children, preise ye the Lord; preise ye the name of the Lord.
2The name of the Lord be blessid; fro this tyme now and til in to the world.
3Fro the risyng of the sunne til to the goyng doun; the name of the Lord is worthi to be preisid.
4The Lord is hiy aboue alle folkis; and his glorie is aboue heuenes.
5Who is as oure Lord God, that dwellith in hiye thingis;
6and biholdith meke thingis in heuene and in erthe?
7Reisynge a nedi man fro the erthe; and enhaunsinge a pore man fro drit.
8That he sette hym with princes; with the princes of his puple.
9Which makith a bareyn womman dwelle in the hous; a glad modir of sones.
Psalms 112
1Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
2His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
6Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.
8His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
9He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
10The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
