1 Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

111:1 Alleluja, reversionis Aggæi et Zachariæ. Beatus vir qui timet Dominum:
in mandatis ejus volet nimis.

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

2 Potens in terra erit semen ejus;
generatio rectorum benedicetur.

3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

3 Gloria et divitiæ in domo ejus,
et justitia ejus manet in sæculum sæculi.

4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

4 Exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis:
misericors, et miserator, et justus.

5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

5 Jucundus homo qui miseretur et commodat;
disponet sermones suos in judicio:

6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

6 quia in æternum non commovebitur.

7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.

7 In memoria æterna erit justus;
ab auditione mala non timebit.
Paratum cor ejus sperare in Domino,

8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.

8 confirmatum est cor ejus;
non commovebitur donec despiciat inimicos suos.

9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

9 Dispersit, dedit pauperibus;
justitia ejus manet in sæculum sæculi:
cornu ejus exaltabitur in gloria.

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 Peccator videbit, et irascetur;
dentibus suis fremet et tabescet:
desiderium peccatorum peribit.
