Psalm CXI The Good Man Is Happy
Beatus vir, qui timet Dominum: *in mandatis ejus volet nimis.
Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments.
Potens in terra erit semen ejus: *generatio rectorum benedicetur.
His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generations of the righteous shall be blessed.
Gloria et divitiæ in domo ejus: *et justitia ejus manet in sæculum sæculi.
Glory and wealth shall be in his house; and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.
Exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis: *misericors, et miserator et justus.
To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness; he is merciful, and compassionate and just.
Jucundus homo qui miseretur et commodat: disponet sermones suos in judicio: *quia in æternum non commovebitur.
Acceptable is the man that showeth mercy and lendeth; he shall order his words with judgment; because he shall not be moved for ever.
In memoria æterna erit justus: *ab auditione mala non timebit.
The just shall be in everlasting remembrance: he shall not fear the evil hearing.
Paratum cor ejus sperare in Domino, confirmatum est cor ejus: *non commovebitur, donec despiciat inimicos suos.
His heart is ready to hope in the Lord: his heart is strengthened, he shall not be moved, until he look over his enemies.
Dispersit, dedit pauperibus: justitia ejus manet in sæculum sæculi: *cornu ejus exaltabitur in gloria.
He hath distributed, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever and ever, his horn shall be exalted in glory.
Peccator videbit et irascetur, dentibus suis fremet, et tabescet: *desiderium peceatorum peribit.
The wicked shall see and shall be angry, he shall gnash with his teeth and pine away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
