Psalms 111

1Alleluia.

Blessed is the man that fears the Lord:

He will delight greatly in his commandments.

2His seed shall be mighty in the earth:

The generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3Glory and riches shall be in his house;

And his righteousness endures for evermore.

4To the upright light has sprung up in darkness:

He is pitiful, and merciful, and righteous.

5The good man is he that pities and lends:

He will direct his affairs with judgment.

6For he shall not be moved forever;

The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

7He shall not be afraid of any evil report:

His heart is ready to trust in the Lord.

8His heart is established, he shall not fear,

Till he shall see his desire upon his enemies.

9He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor;

His righteousness endures for evermore:

His horn shall be exalted with honor.

10The sinner shall see and be angry,

He shall gnash his teeth, and consume away:

The desire of the sinner shall perish.
