Psalm 112
8,6,8,6

^1Praise ye the Lord. The man is bless'd

that fears the Lord aright,

He who in his commandements

doth greatly take delight.

^2His seed and offspring powerful

shall be the earth upon:

Of upright men blessed shall be

the generation.

^3Riches and wealth shall ever be

within his house in store;

And his unspotted righteousness

endures for evermore.

^4Unto the upright light doth rise,

though he in darkness be:

Compassionate, and merciful,

and righteous, is he.

^5A good man doth his favour shew,

and doth to others lend:

He with discretion his affairs

will guide unto the end.

^6Surely there is not any thing

that ever shall him move:

The righteous man's memorial

shall everlasting prove.

^7When he shall evil tidings hear,

he shall not be afraid:

His heart is fix'd, his confidence

upon the Lord is stay'd.

^8His heart is firmly stablished,

afraid he shall not be,

Until upon his enemies

he his desire shall see.

^9He hath dispers'd, giv'n to the poor;

his righteousness shall be

To ages all; with honour shall

his horn be raised high.

^10The wicked shall it see, and fret,

his teeth gnash, melt away:

What wicked men do most desire

shall utterly decay.
