PSALM 111.

1 Alleluia of the returning of Aggeus and Zacharias.

¹ Alleluia of the returning of Aggeus and Zacharias. 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.
