Blessed is he that fears the Lord,
He walketh in his ways,
And sets his great delight therein,
The length of all his days.


{{Text|English}}
His seed, and those which of him come,
 
Mighty on earth shall be:
Blessed is he that fears the Lord,<br>
The race of such as faithful are,
He walketh in his ways, <br>
Men blessed them shall see.
And sets his great delight therein,<br>
The length of all his days.<br>
 
His seed, and those which of him come,<br>
Mighty on earth shall be:<br>
The race of such as faithful are,<br>
Men blessed them shall see.<br>
 
Plenteousness within his house,<br>
and want there shall be never,<br>
His righteous and upright dealing<br>
Endure shall for ever.<br>


In misty clouds of troubles dark,<br>
Plenteousness within his house,
Which do the just oppress,<br>
and want there shall be never,
The Lord in mercy send them light<br>
His righteous and upright dealing
And easeth their distress.<br>
Endure shall for ever.


The righteous man is merciful<br>
In misty clouds of troubles dark,
And lendeth where is need;<br>
Which do the just oppress,
He guides with judgement all his things<br>
The Lord in mercy send them light
Be it in word or deed.<br>
And easeth their distress.


Though storms do fall and tempests rise,<br>
The righteous man is merciful
The righteous shall stand fast,<br>
And lendeth where is need;
A good remembrance of the just<br>
He guides with judgement all his things
For ever that shall last.<br>
Be it in word or deed.


None evil tidings shall him fear,<br>
Though storms do fall and tempests rise,
His heart is fully set;<br>
The righteous shall stand fast,
He trusteth and believes the Lord,<br>
A good remembrance of the just
That will not him forget.<br>
For ever that shall last.


A stablished heart within his breast,<br>
None evil tidings shall him fear,
No fear where so he goes;<br>
His heart is fully set;
The Lord in justice will revenge<br>
He trusteth and believes the Lord,
The malice of his foes.<br>
That will not him forget.


A hand that doth relieve the poor,<br>
A stablished heart within his breast,
For which he may be sure<br>
No fear where so he goes;
A good report will follow him.<br>
The Lord in justice will revenge
That always shall endure.<br>
The malice of his foes.


This shall the wicked see and fret<br>
A hand that doth relieve the poor,
And waste away with ire,<br>
For which he may be sure
Perish shall and consume to nought<br>
A good report will follow him.
All that he doth desire.<br>
That always shall endure.


(Anonymous metrical version of Psalm 112)
This shall the wicked see and fret
And waste away with ire,
Perish shall and consume to nought
All that he doth desire.

Blessed is he that fears the Lord,
He walketh in his ways,
And sets his great delight therein,
The length of all his days.

His seed, and those which of him come,
Mighty on earth shall be:
The race of such as faithful are,
Men blessed them shall see.

Plenteousness within his house,
and want there shall be never,
His righteous and upright dealing
Endure shall for ever.

In misty clouds of troubles dark,
Which do the just oppress,
The Lord in mercy send them light
And easeth their distress.

The righteous man is merciful
And lendeth where is need;
He guides with judgement all his things
Be it in word or deed.

Though storms do fall and tempests rise,
The righteous shall stand fast,
A good remembrance of the just
For ever that shall last.

None evil tidings shall him fear,
His heart is fully set;
He trusteth and believes the Lord,
That will not him forget.

A stablished heart within his breast,
No fear where so he goes;
The Lord in justice will revenge
The malice of his foes.

A hand that doth relieve the poor,
For which he may be sure
A good report will follow him.
That always shall endure.

This shall the wicked see and fret
And waste away with ire,
Perish shall and consume to nought
All that he doth desire.

(Anonymous metrical version of Psalm 112)
