Psalm 112

Translated by James Anderson

Hallelujah

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

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

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

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

5 ט A good man showeth pity and lendeth; י He manageth his affairs in uprightness.

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

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

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

9 פ He hath dispersed; he hath given to the poor ones; ץ His righteousness continueth for ever; ק His horn shall be exalted with glory.

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

Psalm 113

Hallelujah

1 Praise ye, O ye servants of Jehovah! Praise ye the name of Jehovah.

2 Let the name of Jehovah be blessed, From henceforth and for ever.

3 From the rising of the sun even to his going down, Worthy to be praised is the name of Jehovah.

4 High above all nations is Jehovah, Above the heavens is his glory.

5 Who is like Jehovah our God,

6 Who hath his dwelling on high, Who humbleth himself to behold that which is done in heaven and on earth?

7 Who raiseth from the dust the needy one; From the dunghill he lifteth up the wretched one;

8 To make him sit with princes, With the princes of his people.

9 Who causeth the barren woman to dwell with a family, Rejoicing that she is a mother of children. Hallelujah.
