Salme 112

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

Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments.

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

His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.

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

Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.

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

To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness: he is merciful, and compassionate and just.

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

Acceptable is the man that showeth mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment:

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

Because he shall not be moved for ever.

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

The just shall be in everlasting remembrance: he shall not hear the evil hearing. His heart is ready to hope in the Lord:

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

His heart is strengthened, he shall not be moved until he look over his enemies.

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

He hath distributed, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever and ever: 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 wicked shall see, and shall be angry, he shall gnash with his teeth and pine away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
