Salme 112

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

Alleluia. Of the return of Haggai and Zachariah. Blessed is the man who fears the Lord. He will prefer his commandments exceedingly.

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

His offspring will be powerful on the earth. The generation of the upright will be blessed.

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

Glory and wealth will be in his house, and his justice shall remain from age to age.

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

For the upright, a light has risen up in the darkness. He is merciful and compassionate and just.

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

Pleasing is the man who shows mercy and lends. He will order his words with judgment.

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

For he will not be disturbed in eternity.

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

The just one will be an everlasting memorial. He will not fear a report of disasters. His heart is prepared to hope in the Lord.

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

His heart has been confirmed. He will not be disturbed, until he looks down upon his enemies.

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

He has distributed, he has given to the poor. His justice shall remain from age to age. His horn shall be exalted in glory.

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

The sinner will see and become angry. He will gnash his teeth and waste away. The desire of sinners will perish.
