The argument of the .cxii. psalme

¶The prophete setteth foorth the felicitie, rewarde, and properties of them that feare God and worship him: suche the vngodly seeth with his great griefe.

¶Prayse ye the Lorde.

[unspec A] 1 BLessed is the man that feareth God: he hath great delight in his com∣maundementes.

2 His seede shalbe mightie vpon the earth: the generation of them that dwell vprightly, shalbe blessed.

3 Riches and plenteousnes shalbe in his house: and his righteousnes endureth for euer.

4 There (a) 1.1 ariseth vp light in the dark∣nes: vnto them that deale vprightly he is merciful, and louing, and righteous.

5 A good man is mercyfull and lendeth: he wyll guyde his wordes with discre∣tion.

6 For he shalbe neuer moued: and the righteous shall be had in an euerlasting remembraunce.

[unspec B] 7 He wyll not be afraide of any euyll ti∣dinges: his heart is setled, he beleueth in God.

8 His heart is strengthened, he will not feare: vntyll he seeth [a mischiefe to fall] vpon his enemies.

9 He hath distributed abrode, he hath geuen to the poore: his righteousnes re∣mayneth for euer, his (b) 1.2 horne shalbe ex∣alted with glory.

10 The vngodly shall see it, and it wyll greeue hym, he wyll gnashe with his teethe and consume away: the desire of the vngodly shall perishe.
