Salme 112

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

Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.

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

Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed.

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

Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.

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

Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

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

Good [is] the man — gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.

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

For — to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.

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

Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.

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

Sustained is his heart — he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.

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

He hath scattered — hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.

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

The wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!
