Salme 111

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

Hallelujah. I will give thanks unto the LORD with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

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

The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have delight therein.

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

His work is glory and majesty; and His righteousness endureth for ever.

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

He hath made a memorial for His wonderful works; the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

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

He hath given food unto them that fear Him; He will ever be mindful of His covenant.

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

He hath declared to His people the power of His works, in giving 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 justice; all His precepts are sure.

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

They are established for ever and ever, they are done in truth and uprightness.

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

He hath sent redemption unto His people; He hath commanded His covenant for ever; Holy and awful 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 the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do thereafter; His praise endureth for ever.
