Salme 112

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

Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in His commandments.

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

His seed shall be mighty upon earth; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

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

Wealth and riches are in his house; and his merit endureth for ever.

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

Unto the upright He shineth as a light in the darkness, gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

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

Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth, that ordereth his affairs rightfully.

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

For he shall never be moved; the righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.

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

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is stedfast, trusting in the LORD.

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

His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he gaze upon his adversaries.

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

He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the needy; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honour.

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 vexed; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away; the desire of the wicked shall perish.
