PART 1 (88. 88. 88) | |||
That man is blest who stands in awe | |||
Of God, and loves his sacred law: | |||
His seed on earth shall be renowned; | |||
His house the seat of wealth shall be, | |||
An inexhausted treasury, | |||
And with successive honors crowned. | |||
His liberal favors he extends, | |||
To some he gives, to others lends; | |||
A generous pity fills his mind: | |||
Yet what his charity impairs, | |||
He saves by prudence in affairs | |||
And thus he's just to all mankind. | |||
His hands, while they his alms bestowed, | |||
His glory's future harvest sowed; | |||
The sweet remembrance of the just, | |||
Like a green root, revives and bears | |||
A train of blessings for his heirs, | |||
When dying nature sleeps in dust. | |||
Beset with threatening dangers round, | |||
Unmoved shall he maintain his ground; | |||
His conscience holds his courage up: | |||
The soul that's filled with virtue's light, | |||
Shines brightest in affliction's night, | |||
And sees in darkness beams of hope. | |||
Ill tidings never can surprise | |||
His heart that fixed on God relies, | |||
Though waves and tempests roar around: | |||
Safe on the rock he sits, and sees | |||
The shipwreck of his enemies, | |||
And all their hope and glory drowned. | |||
The wicked shall his triumph see, | |||
And gnash their teeth in agony, | |||
To find their expectations crossed; | |||
They and their envy, pride, and spite, | |||
Sink down to everlasting night, | |||
And all their names in darkness lost. | |||
PART 2 (L. M.) | |||
Thrice happy man who fears the Lord, | |||
Loves his commands, and trusts his word; | |||
Honor and peace his days attend, | |||
And blessings to his seed descend. | |||
Compassion dwells upon his mind, | |||
To works of mercy still inclined; | |||
He lends the poor some present aid, | |||
Or gives them, not to be repaid. | |||
When times grow dark, and tidings spread | |||
That fill his neighbors round with dread, | |||
His heart is armed against the fear, | |||
For God with all his power is there. | |||
His soul, well fixed upon the Lord, | |||
Draws heavenly courage from his word; | |||
Amidst the darkness light shall rise, | |||
To cheer his heart and bless his eyes. | |||
He hath dispersed his alms abroad; | |||
His works are still before his God; | |||
His name on earth shall long remain, | |||
While envious sinners fret in vain. | |||

Clementine Vulgate (Psalm 111)Latin text 1 Alleluia. Reversionis Aggei et Zacchariae. Beatus vir qui timet Dominum: in mandatis ejus volet nimis. 2 Potens in terra erit semen ejus; generatio rectorum benedicetur. 3 Gloria et divitiae in domo ejus: et justitia ejus manet in saeculum saeculi. 4 Exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis: misericors, et miserator, et justus. 5 Jucundus homo qui miseretur et commodat; disponet sermones suos in judicio: 6 quia in aeternum non commovebitur. 7 In memoria aeterna erit justus; ab auditione mala non timebit. Paratum cor ejus sperare in Domino, 8 confirmatum est cor ejus; non commovebitur donec despiciat inimicos suos. 9 Dispersit, dedit pauperibus; justitia ejus manet in saeculum saeculi: cornu ejus 10 Peccator videbit, et irascetur; dentibus suis fremet et tabescet: |
Church of England 1662 Book of Common PrayerEnglish text 1 Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he hath great delight in his commandments. 2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the faithful shall be blessed. 3 Riches and plenteousness shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever. 4 Unto the godly there ariseth up light in the darkness: he is merciful, loving, and righteous. 5 A good man is merciful, and lendeth: and will guide his words with discretion. 6 For he shall never be moved: and the righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance. 7 He will not be afraid of any evil tidings: for his heart standeth fast, and believeth in the Lord. 8 His heart is established, and will not shrink: until he see his desire upon his enemies. 9 He hath dispersed abroad, and given to the poor: and his righteousness remaineth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour. 10 The ungodly shall see it, and it shall grieve him: he shall gnash with his teeth, and consume away; the desire of the ungodly shall perish. |
Luther Bibel 1545German text 1 Halleluja! Wohl dem, der den HERRN fürchtet, der große Lust hat zu seinen Geboten! 2 Des Same wird gewaltig sein auf Erden; das Geschlecht der Frommen wird gesegnet sein. 3 Reichtum und die Fülle wird in ihrem Hause sein, und ihre Gerechtigkeit bleibt ewiglich. 4 Den Frommen geht das Licht auf in der Finsternis von dem Gnädigen, Barmherzigen und Gerechten. 5 Wohl dem, der barmherzig ist und gerne leidet und richtet seine Sachen aus, daß er niemand Unrecht tue! 6 Denn er wird ewiglich bleiben; des Gerechten wird nimmermehr vergessen. 7 Wenn eine Plage kommen will, so fürchtet er sich nicht; sein Herz hofft unverzagt auf den HERRN. 8 Sein Herz ist getrost und fürchtet sich nicht, bis er seine Lust an seinen Feinden sieht. 9 Er streut aus und gibt den Armen; seine Gerechtigkeit bleibt ewiglich, sein Horn wird erhöht mit Ehren. 10 Der Gottlose wird's sehen, und es wird ihn verdrießen; seine Zähne wird er zusammenbeißen und vergehen. Denn was die Gottlosen gerne wollten, das ist verloren. |
Other versionsFrench text 1 Heureux qui craint le Seigneur et se plaît grandement à ses préceptes. 2 Sa lignée sera puissante sur la terre et bénie la race des cœurs droits. 3 Opulence et bien-être en sa maison, Sa justice demeure à jamais. 4 Il se lève, lumière des cœurs droits, sensible, pitoyable et juste. 5 Heureux l'homme bon qui prend pitié et s'accommode : il conclut ses affaires en justice. 6 Le juste jamais ne chancelle, il est en mémoire éternelle. 7 Il ne craint pas l'annonce de malheurs, le cœur ferme il se fie au Seigneur. 8 Son cœur est assuré ; il ne craint pas : à la fin il toisera ses oppresseurs. 9 Il fait largesse, il donne au pauvre - sa justice demeure à jamais, son front s'élève en gloire. 10 L'impie le voit et s'irrite, il grince des dents et dépérit. Le désir des impies est néant. |
King James VersionEnglish text 1 Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. 2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. 3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever. 4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. 5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion. 6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. 7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord. 8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies. 9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour. 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. |
