Salme 111

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

Praise YAH! [ALEPH-BET] I thank YHWH with the whole heart, In the secret meeting of the upright, And of the congregation.

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

Great [are] the works of YHWH, Sought out by all desiring them.

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

Splendid and majestic is His work, And His righteousness is standing forever.

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

He has made a memorial of His wonders, YHWH [is] gracious and merciful.

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

He has given prey to those fearing Him, He remembers His covenant for all time.

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

He has declared the power of His works to His people, To give to them the inheritance of nations.

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

The works of His hands [are] true and just, All His appointments [are] steadfast.

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

They are sustained forever and for all time. They are made in truth and uprightness.

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

He has sent redemption to His people, He has appointed His covenant for all time, His Name [is] holy and fearful.

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

The fear of YHWH [is] the beginning of wisdom, Good understanding have all doing them, His praise [is] standing forever!
