Psalm 112
Words: The Scottish Psalter
1 Praise ye the Lord. The man is blessed
that fears the Lord aright,
He who in his commandments
doth greatly take delight.
2 His seed and offspring powerful
shall be the earth upon:
Of upright men bless�d shall be
the generation.
3 Riches and wealth shall ever be
within his house in store;
And his unspotted righteousness
endures for evermore.
4 Unto the upright light doth rise,
though he in darkness be:
Compassionate, and merciful,
and righteous, is he.
5 A good man doth his favor show,
and doth to others lend:
He with discretion his affairs
will guide unto the end.
6 Surely there is not any thing
that ever shall him move:
The righteous man's memorial
shall everlasting prove.
7 When he shall evil tidings hear,
he shall not be afraid:
His heart is fixed, his confidence
upon the Lord is stayed.
8 His heart is firmly stablish�d,
afraid he shall not be,
Until upon his enemies
he his desire shall see.
9 He hath dispersed, giv'n to the poor;
his righteousness shall be
To ages all; with honor shall
his horn be raised high.
10 The wicked shall it see, and fret,
his teeth gnash, melt away:
What wicked men do most desire
shall utterly decay.
