112 - Beatus vir

1   Praise the Lord! Blessed is the one who fears the Lord, 🞙
    who has great delight in his commandments.

2   His seed shall be mighty in the land; 🞙
    the generation of the faithful shall be blessed.

3   Riches and plenteousness shall be in his house, 🞙
    and his righteousness shall endure for ever.

4   For the upright, there rises light in the darkness; 🞙
    he is merciful, loving, and righteous.

5   It is good for him to be generous in lending 🞙
    and to guide his words with discretion.

6   For he shall never be moved, 🞙
    and the righteous shall be kept in everlasting remembrance.

7   He will not be afraid of any evil tidings, 🞙
    for his heart is steadfast and trusts in the Lord. 

8   His heart is established, and will not fear; 🞙
    at the last he shall see his desire upon his enemies.

9   He has given freely to the poor, 🞙
    and his righteousness endures for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honor.

10  The ungodly shall see it, and shall be angry; 🞙
    he shall gnash his teeth, and waste away; the desire of the ungodly shall perish.
