PSALM 111
Response:
The good man is a light in the darkness for the upright.
Verse 1:
He is a light in the darkness for the upright;
He is generous, merciful and just.
The good man takes pity and lends,
he conducts his affairs with honour.
Verse 2:
The just man will never waver:
he will be remembered for ever.
He has no fear of evil news;
with a firm heart he trusts in the Lord.
Verse 3:
With a steadfast heart he will not fear;
Open-handed, he gives to the poor;
his justice stands firm for ever.
His head will be raised in glory.
