PSAL. CXII. (Book 112)

PRaise ye the Lord. The man is blest
that fears the Lord aright,
He who in His commandements
doth greatly take delight.
His seed and off-spring powerfullLine 2 
shall be the earth upon:
Of upright men blessed shall be
the generation.

Riches and wealth shall ever beLine 3 
within his house in store:
And His unspotted righteousnesse
endures for evermore.
Unto the upright light doth rise,Line 4 
though he in darknesse be:
Compassionate and mercifull,
and righteous is he.

A good man doth his favour shew,Line 5 
and doth to others lend:
He with discretion his affairs
will guide unto the end.
Surely there is not any thingLine 6 
that ever shall him move:
The righteous mans memoriall
shall everlasting prove.

When he shall evill tidings hear,Line 7 
he shall not be afraid;
His heart is fixt, his confidence
upon the Lord is staid.
His heart is firmly stablished,Line 8 
afraid he shall not be,
Untill upon his enemies
he his desire shall see.

He hath disperst, giv'n to the poor,Line 9 
his righteousnesse shall be
To ages all; with honour shall
his horn be raised high.
The wicked shall it see, and fret,Line 10 
his teeth gnash, melt away:
What wicked men do most desire
shall utterly decay.
