Psalms 111

1Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments.

2His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.

3Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.

4To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness: he is merciful, and compassionate and just.

5Acceptable is the man that sheweth mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment:

6Because he shall not be moved for ever.

7The just shall be in everlasting remembrance: he shall not fear the evil hearing. His heart is ready to hope in the Lord:

8His heart is strengthened, he shall not be moved until he look over his enemies.

9He hath distributed, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever and ever: his horn shall be exalted in glory.

10The wicked shall see, and shall be angry, he shall gnash with his teeth and pine away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
