Psalm 112

PRaise ye the Lord. The man is blest
that fears the Lord of might,
And in his just Commandements
that taketh great delight.
His holy seed here upon earth
shall great and mighty be,
The generation of th'upright
all men shall blessed see.

And in his house there shall be store
of wealth and riches sure,
And all his righteousness to him
for ever shall endure.
Unto the righteous doth arise
in midst of darknesse light,
Kind and compassionate is he,
and leads his life aright.

A good man always favour shows,
and lendeth willingly,
And all his own affairs he guides
with judgement prosperously.
Surely his state is setled so
that it shall never move,
The just shall be remembred still
by men and God above.

Of evil tidings that may come,
he will not be afraid,
Because his heart upon his God
by faith is fixt and staid.
His heart is firmly stablished,
afraid he will not be,
Until upon his enemies
his whole desire he see.

He distributes gifts to the poor,
and to eternity
His justice lasts, his horn shall be
with honour raised high.
The wicked seeing it shall grieve,
and gnash his teeth in ire,
And melt away, yea perish shall
the wicked mans desire.
