Psalm 112
Hallelujah

1 ' Blessed is the man who feareth Jehovah; v 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; v And his righteousness endureth for ever.

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

5 t A good man showeth pity and lendeth; y He manageth his affairs [381] 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 s Sustained is his heart, he shall not be afraid, Until he see his desire upon his adversaries.

9 ph He hath dispersed; he hath given to the poor ones; ts 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.


Footnotes:

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