Salme 112

1 Halleluja! Salig er den, der frygter HERREN og ret har Lyst til hans Bud!

Let the Lord be praised. Happy is the man who gives honour to the Lord, and has great delight in his laws.

2 Hans Æt bliver mægtig paa Jord, den Oprigtiges Slægt velsignes;

His seed will be strong on the earth; blessings will be on the generation of the upright.

3 Velstand og Rigdom er i hans Hus, hans Retfærdighed varer evindelig.

A store of wealth will be in his house, and his righteousness will be for ever.

4 For den oprigtige oprinder Lys i Mørke; han er mild, barmhjertig, retfærdig.

For the upright there is a light shining in the dark; he is full of grace and pity.

5 Salig den, der ynkes og laaner ud og styrer sine Sager med Ret;

All is well for the man who is kind and gives freely to others; he will make good his cause when he is judged.

6 thi han rokkes aldrig i Evighed, den retfærdige ihukommes for evigt;

He will not ever be moved; the memory of the upright will be living for ever.

7 han frygter ikke for onde Tidender, hans Hjerte er trøstigt i Tillid til HERREN;

He will have no fear of evil news; his heart is fixed, for his hope is in the Lord.

8 fast er hans Hjerte og uden Frygt, indtil han skuer sine Fjender med Fryd;

His heart is resting safely, he will have no fear, till he sees trouble come on his haters.

9 til fattige deler han rundhaandet ud, hans Retfærdighed varer evindelig; med Ære løfter hans Horn sig.

He has given with open hands to the poor; his righteousness is for ever; his horn will be lifted up with honour.

10 Den gudløse ser det og græmmer sig, skærer Tænder og gaar til Grunde; de gudløses Attraa bliver til intet.

The sinner will see it with grief; he will be wasted away with envy; the desire of the evil-doers will come to nothing.
