Salme 111

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

Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly 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 by all them that have pleasure in them.

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

His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

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

He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: 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 to 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 shown his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

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

The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.

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

They stand fast for ever and ever, and 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 sent redemption to his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend 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 his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
