Salme 112

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

Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who delights greatly in his commandments.

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

His offspring 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. 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, gracious, merciful, and righteous.

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

It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgement.

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

For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.

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

He will not be afraid of evil 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 established. He will not be afraid in the end when he sees his adversaries.

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

He has dispersed, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn will 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 will see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of the wicked will perish.
