| Chapter 111 |
1 | 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 showeth 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. |
