PSAL. CXII. Second Meeter

Praise ye the Lord, blest is the man that doth Jehovah fear: That doth in his commandements, his spirit greatly chear. They also mighty upon earth shall be that are his seed; The race shall blessed be that doth from th' upright one proceed.

And there shall be within his house, both wealth and much rich store: His righteousness moreover doth endure for evermore. In midst of darkness there doth light to upright ones arise: He gracious is and pittiful, and righteous is likewise.

A good man gracious favour shews, and ready is to lend: And with discretion his affairs he carries on an end. Unmoved be for evermore assuredly shall he: In everlasting memory the righteous man shall be.

By evil tidings that he hears, he shall not be afraid: His trust he putting in the Lord, his heart is firmly staid. His heart is sure established, fear shall not him surprize; Until he sees what he desires upon his enemies.

He to the poor dispers'd, and gave, his justice lasts for ay: With honour also shall his horn on high exalted stay. The wicked shall both see and grieve, gnash with his teeth shall he. And melt away, and their desire shall fail that wicked be.
