Psalm 111 [MT 112]

[Alleluia.] Blessed is the man that fears the Lord: he will delight greatly in his commandments.

᾿Αλληλούϊα. - ΜΑΚΑΡΙΟΣ ἀνὴρ ὁ φοβούμενος τὸν Κύριον, ἐν ταῖς ἐντολαῖς αὐτοῦ θελήσει σφόδρα·

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

δυνατὸν ἐν τῇ γῇ ἔσται τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ, γενεὰ εὐθέων εὐλογηθήσεται.

Glory and riches shall be in his house; and his righteousness endures for evermore.

δόξα καὶ πλοῦτος ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἡ δικαιοσύνη αὐτοῦ μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος.

To the upright light has sprung up in darkness: he is pitiful, and merciful, and righteous.

ἐξανέτειλεν ἐν σκότει φῶς τοῖς εὐθέσιν ἐλεήμων καὶ οἰκτίρμων καὶ δίκαιος.

The good man is he that pities and lends: he will direct his affairs with judgment.

χρηστὸς ἀνὴρ ὁ οἰκτείρων καὶ κιχρῶν· οἰκονομήσει τοὺς λόγους αὐτοῦ ἐν κρίσει,

For he shall not be moved for ever; the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα οὐ σαλευθήσεται, εἰς μνημόσυνον αἰώνιον ἔσται δίκαιος.

He shall not be afraid of [any] evil report: his heart is ready to trust in the Lord.

ἀπὸ ἀκοῆς πονηρᾶς οὐ φοβηθήσεται· ἑτοίμη ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ ἐλπίζειν ἐπὶ Κύριον.

His heart is established, he shall not fear, till he shall see [his desire] upon his enemies.

ἐστήρικται ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ, οὐ μὴ φοβηθῇ, ἕως οὗ ἐπίδῃ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ·

He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for evermore: his horn shall be exalted with honour.

ἐσκόρπισεν, ἔδωκε τοῖς πένησιν· ἡ δικαιοσύνη αὐτοῦ μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος, τὸ κέρας αὐτοῦ ὑψωθήσεται ἐν δόξῃ.

The sinner shall see and be angry, he shall gnash his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the sinner shall perish.

ἁμαρτωλὸς ὄψεται καὶ ὀργισθήσεται, τοὺς ὀδόντας αὐτοῦ βρύξει καὶ τακήσεται· ἐπιθυμία ἁμαρτωλοῦ ἀπολεῖται.
