Salme 112

1 Halleluja! Salig er den, der frygter Herren og ret har lyst til hans bud!

Praise ye Jehovah. Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah, That delighteth greatly in his commandments.

2 Hans Æt bliver mægtig på 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 are in his house; And his righteousness endureth for ever.

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

Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: [He is] gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

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

Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth; He shall maintain his cause in judgment.

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

For he shall never be moved; The righteous shall be had 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 Jehovah.

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 see [his desire] upon his adversaries.

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

He hath dispersed, he hath given to the needy; His righteousness endureth for ever: His horn shall be exalted with honor.

10 Den gudløse ser det og græmmer sig, skærer Tænder og går til Grunde; de gudløses Attrå 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.
