Salme 112

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

Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the Lord, that greatly delighteth 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 upright shall be blessed.

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

Plenty and riches shall be in his house, and his righteousness shall endure for ever.

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

There ariseth in the darkness a light to the upright: he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

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

Well will it be with the man who is kind, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with justice.

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

Surely unto eternity shall he not be moved: in everlasting remembrance shall the righteous be held.

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

Of an evil report shall he not be afraid: his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.

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

Well supported is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until he looketh on [the punishment of] his assailants.

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

He distributeth, he giveth to the needy: his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honor.

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

The wicked shall see it, and be vexed; he will gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the longing of the wicked shall perish.
