Psalms 111

UBES

‹ Chapter 110 Psalms — All Chapters Chapter 112 ›

1 Alleluia. Blessed is the man that fears the Lord: He will delight greatly in his commandments. 2 His seed shall be mighty in the earth: The generation of the upright shall be blessed. 3 Glory and riches shall be in his house; And his righteousness endures for evermore. 4 To the upright light has sprung up in darkness: He is pitiful, and merciful, and righteous. 5 The good man is he that pities and lends: He will direct his affairs with judgment. 6 For he shall not be moved forever; The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. 7 He shall not be afraid of any evil report: His heart is ready to trust in the Lord. 8 His heart is established, he shall not fear, Till he shall see his desire upon his enemies. 9 He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor; His righteousness endures for evermore: His horn shall be exalted with honor. 10 The sinner shall see and be angry, He shall gnash his teeth, and consume away: The desire of the sinner shall perish.
