Psalm 112. Beatus vir.

1. Hallelujah! Happy are they who fear the Lord *
   and have great delight in his commandments!
2. Their descendants will be mighty in the land; *
   the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3. Wealth and riches will be in their house, *
   and their righteousness will last for ever.
4. Light shines in the darkness for the upright; *
   the righteous are merciful and full of compassion.
5. It is good for them to be generous in lending *
   and to manage their affairs with justice.
6. For they will never be shaken; *
   the righteous will be kept in everlasting remembrance.
7. They will not be afraid of any evil rumors; *
   their heart is right; they put their trust in the Lord.
8. Their heart is established and will not shrink, *
   until they see their desire upon their enemies.
9. They have given freely to the poor, *
   and their righteousness stands fast for ever; they will hold up their head with honor.
10. The wicked will see it and be angry; they will gnash their teeth and pine away; *
    the desires of the wicked will perish.
