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.

Psalms 112
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 are 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.
5Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth;
He shall maintain his cause in judgement.
6For he shall never be moved;
The righteous shall be had 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 adversaries.
9He hath dispersed, he hath given to the needy;
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.
