Psalm 111
1 Alleluia.
Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord:
he will delight greatly in his commandments.
2 His seed shall be mighty in the earth:
the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3 Glory and riches shall be in his house;
and his righteousness endureth for evermore.
4 To the upright light hath sprung up in darkness:
he is pitiful, and merciful, and righteous.
5 The good man is he that pitieth and lendeth:
he will direct his affairs with judgment.
6 For he shall not be moved for ever;
the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7 He shall not be afraid of any evil report:
his heart is ready to trust in the Lord.
8 His heart is established, he shall not fear,
till he shall see his desire upon his enemies.
9 [1]He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor;
his righteousness endureth for evermore:
his horn shall be exalted with honour.
10 The sinner shall see and be angry,
he shall gnash his teeth, and consume away:
the desire of the sinner shall perish.
