Salme 111

1 Jeg vil prise Herren af ganske Hjerte i de oprigtiges Raad og i Menigheden.

Hallelujah! I will celebrate Jehovah with [my] whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the assembly.

2 Herrens Gerninger ere store, de blive søgte af alle dem, som have Lyst til dem.

Great are the works of Jehovah; sought out of all that delight in them.

3 Hans Værk er Majestæt og Herlighed, og hans Retfærdighed bestaar alle Tider.

His work is majesty and splendour, and his righteousness abideth for ever.

4 Han beskikkede en Ihukommelse om sine underfulde Gerninger; naadig og barmhjertig er Herren.

He hath made his wonders to be remembered: Jehovah is gracious and merciful.

5 Han har givet dem Spise, som frygte ham, han kommer evindelig sin Pagt i Hu.

He hath given meat unto them that fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.

6 Han har ladet sine Gerningers Kraft forkynde for sit Folk, idet han har givet dem Hedningernes Arv.

He hath shewn his people the power of his works, to give them the heritage of the nations.

7 Hans Hænders Gerninger ere Sandhed og Ret, alle hans Befalinger ere trofaste.

The works of his hands are truth and judgment; all his precepts are faithful:

8 De ere grundfaste altid og evindelig, de ere satte i Sandhed og Oprigtighed.

Maintained for ever and ever, done in truth and uprightness.

9 Han sendte sit Folk Forløsning, han stiftede sin Pagt for evigt; hans Navn er helligt og forfærdeligt.

He sent deliverance unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and terrible is his name.

10 Herrens Frygt er Visdoms Begyndelse, en god Klogskab hos alle dem, som gøre derefter; hans Pris bestaar altid.

The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do [his precepts]: his praise abideth for ever.
