Salme 112

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

Praise JAH. Blessed is the man who fears Jehovah, who delights greatly in his commandments.

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

His descendants will be mighty in the land. The generation of the upright will be blessed.

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

Wealth and riches are in his house. His righteousness endures forever.

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

Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, merciful, and righteous.

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

It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment.

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

For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.

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

He will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in Jehovah.

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

His heart is secure, he has no fears; in the end he will look in triumph on his adversaries.

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

He has scattered, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever. His horn will 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 will see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of the wicked will perish.
