< Salme 112 >
1 Salig den Mand, som frygter Herren, som har stor Glæde ved hans Bud.
Hallelujah! Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
2 Hans Sæd skal være mægtig paa Jorden; de oprigtiges Slægt skal velsignes.
His seed shall be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3 Gods og Rigdom er i hans Hus, og hans Retfærdighed bestaar altid.
Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house; and his righteousness abideth for ever.
4 Der er opgaaet et Lys i Mørket for de oprigtige, for den, som er naadig og barmhjertig og retfærdig.
Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness; he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.
5 Lyksalig den Mand, som forbarmer sig og udlaaner, som opholder sine Sager ved Retfærdighed.
It is well with the man that is gracious and lendeth; he will sustain his cause in judgment.
6 Thi han skal ikke rokkes evindelig, en retfærdig skal være til en evig Ihukommelse.
For he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7 Han skal ikke frygte for onde Tidender, hans Hjerte er fast, han forlader sig paa Herren.
He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is fixed confiding in Jehovah;
8 Hans Hjerte er grundfast, han skal ikke frygte, indtil han ser sin Glæde paa sine Fjender.
His heart is maintained, he is not afraid, until he see [his desire] upon his oppressors.
9 Han udspreder, han giver de fattige; hans Retfærdighed bestaar altid, hans Horn skal ophøjes med Ære.
He scattereth abroad, he giveth to the needy; his righteousness abideth for ever: his horn shall be exalted with honour.
10 Den ugudelige skal se det og harmes; han skal skære Tænder og hensmeltes; de ugudeliges Ønske bliver til intet.
The wicked [man] shall see [it] and be vexed; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
