Salme 112

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

Praise you the LORD. Blessed is the man that fears the LORD, that delights greatly in his commandments.

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

His seed shall be mighty on earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

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

Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endures for ever.

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

To the upright there rises light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

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

A good man shows favor, and lends: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

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

Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be 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 fixed, 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 see his desire on his enemies.

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

He has dispersed, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honor.

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