Psalms

Psalm 111

  1. 1

    A blessed man is he, who fears the Lord, bearing great love to his commandments.

  2. 2

    Children of his shall win renown in their country; do right, and thy sons shall find a blessing.

  3. 3

    Ease shall dwell in his house, and great prosperity; fame shall ever record his bounty.

  4. 4

    Good men see a light dawn in darkness; his light, who is merciful, kind and faithful.

  5. 5

    It goes well with the man who lends in pity, just and merciful in his dealings.

  6. 6

    Length of days shall leave him still unshaken; men will remember the just for ever.

  7. 7

    No fear shall he have of evil tidings; on the Lord his hope is fixed unchangeably.

  8. 8

    Patient his heart remains and stedfast, quietly he waits for the downfall of his enemies.

  9. 9

    Rich are his alms to the needy; still his bounty abides in memory. The Lord will lift up his head in triumph;

  10. 10

    ungodly men are ill content to see it. Vainly they gnash their teeth in envy; worldly hopes must fade and perish.
