Psalms 112

Douai-Rheims	New Jerusalem Bible
¹ Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments.	¹ Al eluia! How blessed is anyone who fears Yahweh, who delights in his commandments!
² His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.	² His descendants shal be powerful on earth, the race of the honest shal receive blessings:
³ Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.	³ Riches and wealth for his family; his uprightness stands firm for ever.
⁴ To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness: he is merciful, and compassionate and just.	⁴ For the honest he shines as a lamp in the dark, generous, tender-hearted, and upright.
⁵ Acceptable is the man that showeth mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment:	⁵ Al goes wel for one who lends generously, who is honest in al his dealing;
⁶ because he shall not be moved for ever.	⁶ for al time to come he wil not stumble, for al time to come the upright wil be remembered.
⁷ The just shall be in everlasting remembrance: he shall not hear the evil hearing. His heart is ready to hope in the Lord:	⁷ Bad news holds no fears for him, firm is his heart, trusting in Yahweh.
⁸ his heart is strengthened, he shall not be moved until he look over his enemies.	⁸ His heart held steady, he has no fears, til he can gloat over his enemies.
⁹ He hath distributed, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever and ever: his horn shall be exalted in glory.	⁹ To the needy he gives without stint, his uprightness stands firm for ever; his reputation is founded onstrength.
¹⁰ The wicked shall see, and shall be angry, he shall gnash with his teeth and pine away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.	¹⁰ The wicked are vexed at the sight, they grind their teeth and waste away. The desires of the wickedwil be frustrated.
