PSALM 112

Hallelujah

1 a Blessed is the man who feareth Jehovah; b In his commandments he will delight greatly.

2 g Mighty on the earth shall be his seed: d The generation of the upright ones shall be blessed.

3 h Wealth and riches shall be in his house; w And his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 z There ariseth in darkness light to the upright ones: x He is merciful and compassionate and righteous.

5 j A good man showeth pity and lendeth; y He manageth his affairs 1 in uprightness.

6 k Truly he shall not for ever be moved; l In everlasting remembrance shall be the righteous one.

7 m Of evil tidings he shall not be afraid; n Established is his heart, because he trusteth in Jehovah.

8 o Sustained is his heart, he shall not be afraid, e Until he see his desire upon his adversaries.

9 p He hath dispersed; he hath given to the poor ones; U His righteousness continueth for ever; q His horn shall be exalted with glory.

10 r The ungodly one shall see it, and be incensed; s With his teeth he shall gnash and waste away: t The desire of the ungodly ones shall perish.


1 In the Latin version it is "verba," "words," but Calvin rejects this translation in the commentary. In the French version it is "affairs."
