Salme 112

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

Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man, that feareth the Lord, and deliteth greatly in his commandements.

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

His seede shall be mightie vpon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.

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

Riches and treasures shalbe in his house, and his righteousnesse endureth for euer.

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

Vnto the righteous ariseth light in darkenes: he is merciful and full of copassion and righteous.

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

A good man is mercifull and lendeth, and will measure his affaires by iudgement.

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

Surely he shall neuer be moued: but the righteous shalbe had in euerlasting remembrance.

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

He will not be afraide of euill tidings: for his heart is fixed, and beleeueth in the Lord.

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

His heart is stablished: therefore he will not feare, vntill he see his desire vpon his enemies.

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

He hath distributed and giuen to ye poore: his righteousnesse remaineth for euer: his horne shalbe exalted with glory.

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

The wicked shall see it and be angrie: he shall gnash with his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
