Psalms 112
1Alleluia. Praise the Lord, children. Praise the name of the Lord.
2Blessed is the name of the Lord, from this time forward and even forever.
3From the rising of the sun, even to its setting, praiseworthy is the name of the Lord.
4The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory is high above the heavens.
5Who is like the Lord, our God, who dwells on high,
6and who gazes upon the humble things in heaven and on earth?
7He lifts up the needy from the ground, and he urges the poor away from filth,
8so that he may place him with the leaders, with the leaders of his people.
9He causes a barren woman to live in a house, as the joyful mother of sons.
1Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
2His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
6Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.
8His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
9He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
10The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
