Psalms 112

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Hallelujah! Happy are those who fear the LORD, who greatly delight in God's commands.	1 Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments.
2 Their descendants shall be mighty in the land, generation upright and blessed.	2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches shall be in their homes; their prosperity shall endure forever.	3 Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.
4 They shine through the darkness, a light for the upright; they are gracious, merciful, and just.	4 To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness: he is merciful, and compassionate and just.
5 All goes well for those gracious in lending, who conduct their affairs with justice.	5 Acceptable is the man that showeth mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment:
6 They shall never be shaken; the just shall be remembered forever.	6 because he shall not be moved for ever.
7 They shall not fear an ill report; their hearts are steadfast, trusting the LORD.	7 The just shall be in everlasting remembrance: he shall not hear the evil hearing. His heart is ready to hope in the Lord:
8 Their hearts are tranquil, without fear, till at last they look down on their foes.	8 his heart is strengthened, he shall not be moved until he look over his enemies.
9 Lavishly they give to the poor; their prosperity shall endure forever; their horn shall be exalted in honor.	9 He hath distributed, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever and ever: his horn shall be exalted in glory.
10 The wicked shall be angry to see this; they will gnash their teeth and waste away; the desires of the wicked come to nothing.	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.
