Salme 112

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

Alleluia. Of the return of Haggai and Zachariah. Blessed is the man who fears the Lord. He will prefer his commandments exceedingly.

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

His offspring will be powerful on the earth. The generation of the upright will be blessed.

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

Glory and wealth will be in his house, and his justice shall remain from age to age.

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

For the upright, a light has risen up in the darkness. He is merciful and compassionate and just.

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

Pleasing is the man who shows mercy and lends. He will order his words with judgment.

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

For he will not be disturbed in eternity.

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

The just one will be an everlasting memorial. He will not fear a report of disasters. His heart is prepared to hope in the Lord.

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

His heart has been confirmed. He will not be disturbed, until he looks down upon his enemies.

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

He has distributed, he has given to the poor. His justice shall remain from age to age. His horn shall be exalted in glory.

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

The sinner will see and become angry. He will gnash his teeth and waste away. The desire of sinners will perish.
