Salme 112

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

Hallelujah! 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 in the land; 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 abideth 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;

It is well with the man that is gracious and lendeth; he will sustain his cause in judgment.

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

For 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 confiding in Jehovah;

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

His heart is maintained, he is not afraid, until he see [his desire] upon his oppressors.

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

He scattereth abroad, he giveth to the needy; his righteousness abideth for ever: his horn shall be exalted with honour.

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

The wicked [man] shall see [it] and be vexed; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
