Psalm 111-112

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

111 Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments.

² His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.

³ Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.

⁴ To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness: he is merciful, and compassionate and just.

⁵ Acceptable is the man that sheweth mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment:

⁶ Because he shall not be moved for ever.

⁷ The just shall be in everlasting remembrance: he shall not hear the evil hearing. His heart is ready to hope in the Lord:

⁸ His heart is strengthened, he shall not be moved until he look over his enemies.

⁹ He hath distributed, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever and ever: his horn shall be exalted in glory.

¹⁰ The wicked shall see, and shall be angry, he shall gnash with his teeth and pine away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

112 Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye the name of the Lord.

² Blessed be the name of the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.

³ From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise.

⁴ The Lord is high above all nations; and his glory above the heavens.

⁵ Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high:

⁶ And looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?

⁷ Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill:

⁸ That he may place him with princes, with the princes of his people.

⁹ Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children.
