Salme 111

1 Halleluja! jeg takker HERREN af hele mit Hjerte i Oprigtiges Kreds og Menighed!

I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; in the council of the just: and in the congregation.

2 Store er HERRENS Gerninger, gennemtænkte til Bunds.

Great are the works of the Lord: sought out according to all his wills.

3 Hans Værk er Højhed og Herlighed, hans Retfærd bliver til evig Tid.

His work is praise and magnificence: and his justice continueth for ever and ever.

4 Han har sørget for, at hans Undere mindes, naadig og barmhjertig er HERREN.

He hath made a remembrance of his wonderful works, being a merciful and gracious Lord:

5 Dem, der frygter ham, giver han Føde, han kommer for evigt sin Pagt i Hu.

He hath given food to them that fear him. He will be mindful for ever of his covenant:

6 Han viste sit Folk sine vældige Gerninger, da han gav dem Folkenes Eje.

He will shew forth to his people the power of his works.

7 Hans Hænders Værk er Sandhed og Ret, man kan lide paa alle hans Bud;

That he may give them the inheritance of the Gentiles: the works of his hands are truth and judgment.

8 de staar i al Evighed fast, udført i Sandhed og Retsind.

All his commandments are faithful: confirmed for ever and ever, made in truth and equity.

9 Han sendte sit Folk Udløsning, stifted sin Pagt for evigt. Helligt og frygteligt er hans Navn.

He hath sent redemption to his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever. Holy and terrible is his name:

10 HERRENS Frygt er Visdoms Begyndelse; forstandig er hver, som øver den. Evigt varer hans Pris!

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding to all that do it: his praise continueth for ever and ever.
