PSALM 112
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Praise ye the Lord. The man is bless'd
that fears the Lord aright,
He who in his commandements
doth greatly take delight.
2His seed and offspring powerful
shall be the earth upon:
Of upright men blessed shall be
the generation.
3Riches and wealth shall ever be
within his house in store;
And his unspotted righteousness
endures for evermore.
4Unto the upright light doth rise,
though he in darkness be:
Compassionate, and merciful,
and righteous, is he.
5A good man doth his favour shew,
and doth to others lend:
He with discretion his affairs
will guide unto the end.
6Surely there is not any thing
that ever shall him move:
The righteous man's memorial
shall everlasting prove.
7When he shall evil tidings hear,
he shall not be afraid:
His heart is fix'd, his confidence
upon the Lord is stay'd.
8His heart is firmly stablished,
afraid he shall not be,
Until upon his enemies
he his desire shall see.
9He hath dispers'd, giv'n to the poor;
his righteousness shall be
To ages all; with honour shall
his horn be raised high.
10The wicked shall it see, and fret,
his teeth gnash, melt away:
What wicked men do most desire
shall utterly decay.

Tehillim (Psa) 112
112
1Halleluyah!
How happy is anyone who fears Adonai,
who greatly delights in his mitzvot.
2His descendants will be powerful on earth,
a blessed generation of upright people.
3Wealth and riches are in his house,
and his righteousness stands forever.
4To the upright he shines like a light in the dark,
merciful, compassionate and righteous.
5Things go well with the person who is merciful and lends,
who conducts his affairs with fairness;
6for he will never be moved.
The righteous will be remembered forever.
7He will not be frightened by bad news;
he remains steady, trusting in Adonai.
8His heart is set firm, he will not be afraid,
till finally he looks in triumph at his enemies.
9He distributes freely, he gives to the poor;
his righteousness stands forever.
His power will be increased honorably.
10The wicked will be angry when they see this;
they will gnash their teeth and waste away,
the desires of the wicked will come to nothing.
