§ The Book of Psalms 111

1 Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments.

1 Beatus vir qui timet Dominum: in mandatis ejus volet nimis.

2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.

2 Potens in terra erit semen ejus; generatio rectorum benedicetur.

3 Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.

3 Gloria et divitiæ in domo ejus, et justitia ejus manet in sæculum sæculi.

4 To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness: he is merciful, and compassionate and just.

4 Exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis: misericors, et miserator, et justus.

5 Acceptable is the man that sheweth mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment:

5 Jucundus homo qui miseretur et commodat; disponet sermones suos in judicio:

6 because he shall not be moved for ever.

6 quia in æternum non commovebitur.

7 The just shall be in everlasting remembrance: he shall not fear the evil hearing. His heart is ready to hope in the Lord:

7 In memoria æterna erit justus; ab auditione mala non timebit. Paratum cor ejus sperare in Domino,

8 his heart is strengthened, he shall not be moved until he look over his enemies.

8 confirmatum est cor ejus; non commovebitur donec despiciat inimicos suos.

9 He hath distributed, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever and ever: his horn shall be exalted in glory.

9 Dispersit, dedit pauperibus; justitia ejus manet in sæculum sæculi: cornu ejus exaltabitur in gloria.
