PsalmsChapter 111

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

Because he shall not be moved for ever.

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

The wicked shall see, and shall be angry, he shall gnash with his teeth and pine away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
