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
PSALM 112.
1Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye the name of the Lord.
2Blessed be the name of the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.
3From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise.
4The Lord is high above all nations; and his glory above the heavens.
5Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high:
6and looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?
7Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill::
8That he may place him with princes, with the princes of his people.
9Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children.
