Tune: Laudate Dominum
(\'O praise ye the Lord\')
Psalm 112
*********
Praise you the LORD, blessed are they that do fear
The LORD, with reverence draw to Him near
They that do in His commands greatly delight
Descendants shall be mighty and have true light
The generation of upright they shall
Be blessed, have wealth and riches and fare well
Their righteousness endures for ever, so be
Prosperity outcome of their life shall see
Unto the upright there arises light
In darkness, they shall see clear and have sight
They are gracious, full of compassion, righteous
Blessed by God, they a blessing to Him and us
Good people show favour, and they do lend
And to their affairs with discretion tend
They shall no be move ever, they stand steadfast
The righteous\' remembrance, it ever shall last
They shall not be afraid, evil tidings
Whatever they hear, nor of troublous things
For their heart is fixed, in the LORD Him trusting
Heart established, assured, His grace he will bring
They shall see their desire on enemies
They distribute to the poor, so each sees
Their righteousness endures ever, their strength shall
Be exalted with honour, so shall all tell
The wicked shall see, and they shall be grieved
Their plans not come to pass, what they conceived
Against the righteous, but they shall melt away
Wicked\'s desire perish, righteous\' victory day
