# Psalm 111 (112)

Psalm 111 in the Vulgate numbering Bless follows is Psalm 112 in Hebrew numbering (the NABRE, RSV and KJV). Here are all 10 verses in the Catholic Public Domain Version, with the Latin of the Clementine Vulgate beside them.

> Beatus vir. The good man is happy. Alleluia, of the returning of Aggeus and Zacharias. Of the returning, etc. This is in the Greek and Latin, but not in the Hebrew. It signifies that this psalm was proper to be sung at the time of the return of the people from their captivity; to inculcate to them, how happy they might be, if they would be constant in the service of God.

## Psalm 111 (Catholic Public Domain Version)

1. Alleluia. Of the return of Haggai and Zachariah. Blessed is the man who fears the Lord. He will prefer his commandments exceedingly.
2. His offspring will be powerful on the earth. The generation of the upright will be blessed.
3. Glory and wealth will be in his house, and his justice shall remain from age to age.
4. For the upright, a light has risen up in the darkness. He is merciful and compassionate and just.
5. Pleasing is the man who shows mercy and lends. He will order his words with judgment.
6. For he will not be disturbed in eternity.
7. The just one will be an everlasting memorial. He will not fear a report of disasters. His heart is prepared to hope in the Lord.
8. His heart has been confirmed. He will not be disturbed, until he looks down upon his enemies.
9. He has distributed, he has given to the poor. His justice shall remain from age to age. His horn shall be exalted in glory.
10. The sinner will see and become angry. He will gnash his teeth and waste away. The desire of sinners will perish.

## Psalm 111 in Latin (Clementine Vulgate, 1592)

1. Alleluja, reversionis Aggæi et Zachariæ. Beatus vir qui timet Dominum: in mandatis ejus volet nimis.
2. Potens in terra erit semen ejus; generatio rectorum benedicetur.
3. Gloria et divitiæ in domo ejus, et justitia ejus manet in sæculum sæculi.
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 æternum non commovebitur.
7. In memoria æterna 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 sæculum sæculi: cornu ejus exaltabitur in gloria.
10. Peccator videbit, et irascetur; dentibus suis fremet et tabescet: desiderium peccatorum peribit.
