Psalm 112

New Testament In the New Testament, verse 9 is quoted in 2 Corinthians 9:9. Judaism The psalm begins הַלְלוּ-יָהּ:אַשְׁרֵי-אִישׁ, יָרֵא אֶת-יְהוָה; בְּמִצְו‍ֹתָיו, חָפֵץ מְאֹד. Catholic Church Saint Benedict of Nursia attributed the psalms from the Psalm 110 at the services of Vespers, in its Rule of St. Benedict set to 530 AD. So this psalm was traditionally recited or sung during the solemn service of Vespers on Sunday between the Psalm 111 and Psalm 113. In ordinary Roman rite, Psalm 112 is currently the reading of the fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Moreover, in the Liturgy of the Hours enacted in 1970, the psalm is still recited at Vespers of Sunday's fourth week and evening of the Solemnity of the Epiphany. Coptic Orthodox Church In the Agpeya, the Coptic Church's book of hours, this psalm is prayed in the office of None. == Musical settings ==

Heinrich Schütz composed a metred paraphrase of Psalm 112 in German, "Der ist fürwahr ein selig Mann", SWV 210, for the Becker Psalter, published first in 1628. The Latin text was set to music by many composers of different nationalities, such as the French Michel-Richard Delalande and André Campra. Marc-Antoine Charpentier composed five different "Beatus vir qui timet Dominum", H.154, H.199-H.199a, H.208, H.221, H.224 between 1670 and 1695, François Giroust, one setting (1777) and many other composers also set these words. Beatus vir is the title of many musical settings for Vespers, such as in Monteverdi's 1610 Vespro della Beata Vergine and 1640 Selva morale e spirituale, Vivaldi's Beatus Vir, and the third movement of Mozart's Vesperae de Dominica (K. 321) and Vesperae solennes de confessore (K. 339). Górecki composed Beatus Vir, Op. 38, for baritone, large mixed chorus and grand orchestra in 1979. ==Text==

The following table shows the Hebrew text of the Psalm with vowels, alongside the Koine Greek text in the Septuagint and the English translation from the King James Version. Note that the meaning can slightly differ between these versions, as the Septuagint and the Masoretic Text come from different textual traditions. In the Septuagint, this psalm is numbered Psalm 111. Latin Vulgate • Beatus vir, qui timet Dominum, in mandatis ejus volet nimis. • Potens in terra erit semen ejus, generatio rectorum benedicetur. • Gloria et divitiae in domo ejus, et iustitia ejus manet in saeculum saeculi. • Exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis, misericors et miserator et iustus. • Iucundus homo, qui miseretur et commodat, disponet res suas in judicio, • quia in aeternum non commovebitur. In memoria aeterna erit iustus, • ab auditione mala non timebit. Paratum cor ejus, sperare in Domino, • confirmatum est cor eius, non commovebitur, donec despiciat inimicos suos. • Dispersit dedit pauperibus; justitia ejus manet in saeculum saeculi, cornu ejus exaltabitur in gloria. • Peccator videbit et irascetur, dentibus suis fremet et tabescet. Desiderium peccatorum peribit. ==Notes==
