Psalm 111

The good man is happy.

1. 1

   Alleluia, of the returning of Aggaeus and Zacharias. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments.

2. 2

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

3. 3

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

4. 4

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

5. 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.

6. 6

   Because he shall not be moved forever.

7. 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.

8. 8

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

9. 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. 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.
