Psalms 111

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Alleluia. Of the return of Haggai and Zachariah. Blessed is the man who fears the Lord. He will prefer his commandments exceedingly.	1 Al eluia! I give thanks to Yahweh with al my heart, in the meeting-place of honest people, in theassembly.
2 His offspring will be powerful on the earth. The generation of the upright will be blessed.	2 Great are the deeds of Yahweh, to be pondered by al who delight in them.
3 Glory and wealth will be in his house, and his justice shall remain from age to age.	3 Ful of splendour and majesty his work, his saving justice stands firm for ever.
4 For the upright, a light has risen up in the darkness. He is merciful and compassionate and just.	4 He gives us a memorial of his great deeds; Yahweh is mercy and tenderness.
5 Pleasing is the man who shows mercy and lends. He will order his words with judgment.	5 He gives food to those who fear him, he keeps his covenant ever in mind.
6 For he will not be disturbed in eternity.	6 His works show his people his power in giving them the birthright of the nations.
7 The just one will be an everlasting memorial. He will not fear a report of disasters. His heart is prepared to hope in the Lord.	7 The works of his hands are fidelity and justice, al his precepts are trustworthy,
8 His heart has been confirmed. He will not be disturbed, until he looks down upon his enemies.	8 established for ever and ever, accomplished in fidelity and honesty.
9 He has distributed, he has given to the poor. His justice shall remain from age to age. His horn shall be exalted in glory.	9 Deliverance he sends to his people, his covenant he imposes for ever; holy and awesome his name.
10 The sinner will see and become angry. He will gnash his teeth and waste away. The desire of sinners will perish.	10 The root of wisdom is fear of Yahweh; those who attain it are wise. His praise wil continue for ever.
