Salme 111

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

Praise ye Jah! I thank Jehovah with the whole heart, In the secret meeting of the upright, And of the company.

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

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

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

Honourable and majestic is His work, And His righteousness is standing for ever.

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

A memorial He hath made of His wonders, Gracious and merciful [is] Jehovah.

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

Prey He hath given to those fearing Him, He remembereth to the age His covenant.

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

The power of His works He hath declared 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, Stedfast [are] all His appointments.

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

They are sustained for ever to the age. 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.

Redemption He hath sent to His people, He hath appointed to the age His covenant, Holy and fearful [is] His name.

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

The beginning of wisdom [is] fear of Jehovah, Good understanding have all doing them, His praise [is] standing for ever!
