Psalms 111

¹Alleluia. Of the return of Aggeus and Zachary. Blessed is the man that feareth our Lord: he shall have great delight in his commandments.

²His seed shall be mighty in the earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.

³Glory and riches in his house: and his justice abideth for ever and ever.

⁴Light is risen up in darkness to the righteous: he is merciful, and pitiful, and just.

⁵Acceptable is the man, that is merciful and lendeth, that shall dispose his words in judgment:

⁶Because he shall not be moved for ever.

⁷The just shall be in eternal memory: he shall not fear at the hearing of evil. His heart is ready to hope in our Lord,

⁸his heart is confirmed: he shall not be moved till he look over his enemies.

⁹He distributed, he gave to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever and ever, his horn shall be exalted in glory.

¹⁰The sinner shall see, and will be angry, he shall gnash his teeth and pine away: the desire of sinners shall perish.
