Salme 111

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

Praise Yah. I will praise Yhwh with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.

2 Store er Herrens gerninger, gennemtænkte til bunds.

The works of Yhwh are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

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

His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

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

He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: Yhwh 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 meat 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 shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

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

The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.

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

They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.

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

He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.

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

The fear of Yhwh is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
