Salme 111

1 Halleluja! jeg takker Herren af hele mit hjerte i oprigtiges kreds og i menighed!

Hallelujah. I will give thanks unto the LORD with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

2 Store er Herrens gerninger, gennemtænkte til bunds.

The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have delight therein.

3 Hans værk er højhed og herlighed, hans retfærd bliver til evig tid.

His work is glory and majesty; and His righteousness endureth for ever.

4 Han har sørget for, at hans undere mindes, nådig og barmhjertig er Herren.

He hath made a memorial for His wonderful works; the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

5 Dem, der frygter ham, giver han føde, han kommer for evigt sin pagt i hu.

He hath given food unto them that fear Him; He will ever be mindful of His covenant.

6 Han viste sit folk sine vældige gerninger, da han gav dem folkenes eje.

He hath declared to His people the power of His works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.

7 Hans hænders værk er sandhed og ret, man kan lide på alle hans bud;

The works of His hands are truth and justice; all His precepts are sure.

8 de står i al evighed fast, udført i sandhed og retsind.

They are established for ever and ever, they are done in truth and uprightness.

9 Han sendte sit folk udløsning, stifted sin pagt for evigt. Helligt og frygteligt er hans navn.

He hath sent redemption unto His people; He hath commanded His covenant for ever; Holy and awful is His name.

10 Herrens frygt er visdoms begyndelse; forstandig er hver, som øver den. Evigt varer hans pris!

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do thereafter; His praise endureth for ever.
