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, [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 [shall be] in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

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

To the upright there ariseth light in 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 showeth favor, and lendeth: 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 seeth [his desire] upon his enemies.

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

He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth 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.
