Salme 112

1 Salig den Mand, som frygter Herren, som har stor Glæde ved hans Bud.

Hallelujah! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in His commandments.

2 Hans Sæd skal være mægtig paa Jorden; de oprigtiges Slægt skal velsignes.

His descendants will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.

3 Gods og Rigdom er i hans Hus, og hans Retfærdighed bestaar altid.

Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.

4 Der er opgaaet et Lys i Mørket for de oprigtige, for den, som er naadig og barmhjertig og retfærdig.

Light dawns in the darkness for the upright— for the gracious, compassionate, and righteous.

5 Lyksalig den Mand, som forbarmer sig og udlaaner, som opholder sine Sager ved Retfærdighed.

It is well with the man who is generous and lends freely, whose affairs are guided by justice.

6 Thi han skal ikke rokkes evindelig, en retfærdig skal være til en evig Ihukommelse.

Surely he will never be shaken; the righteous man will be remembered forever.

7 Han skal ikke frygte for onde Tidender, hans Hjerte er fast, han forlader sig paa Herren.

He does not fear bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

8 Hans Hjerte er grundfast, han skal ikke frygte, indtil han ser sin Glæde paa sine Fjender.

His heart is assured; he does not fear, until he looks in triumph on his foes.

9 Han udspreder, han giver de fattige; hans Retfærdighed bestaar altid, hans Horn skal ophøjes med Ære.

He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor.

10 Den ugudelige skal se det og harmes; han skal skære Tænder og hensmeltes; de ugudeliges Ønske bliver til intet.

The wicked man will see and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the desires of the wicked will perish.
