Psalm 112
1 Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
1 Blessed is the man that | 3 feareth the | Lord; ||
he hath great de- | light in | his com- | mandments. ||
2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
2 His seed shall be | mighty up•on | earth; ||
the generation of the | faithful | shall be | blessed. ||
3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
3 Riches and plenteousness shall 3 be | in his | house; ||
and his | righteous•ness en- | 3 dureth for | ever. ||
4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
4 Unto the godly there ariseth up | light • in the | darkness; ||
he is | 3 merciful, | loving, • and | righteous. ||
5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
5 A good man is | merci•ful, and | lendeth; ||
and will | guide his | words • with dis- | cretion. ||
6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
6 For he shall | 3 never be | moved: ||
and the righteous shall be | had in • ever- | 3 lasting re- | membrance. ||
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.
7 He will not be afraid of any | evil | tidings; ||
for his heart standeth | fast, • and be- | lieveth • in the | Lord. ||
8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
8 His heart is stablished, and | will not | shrink, ||
until he | see • his de- | sire up•on his | ene•mies. ||
9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
9 He hath dispersed abroad, and | given • to the | poor, ||
and his righteousness remaineth for ever; * his | horn shall • be ex- | 3 alted with | honour. ||
10 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
10 The ungodly shall see it, 3 and | it shall | grieve him; ||
he shall gnash with his teeth, and consume away; * the de- | sire of • the un- | 3 godly shall | perish. ||
About the Pointing
