Salme 112

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

Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly 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 righteous shall be blessed.

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

Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.

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

To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness: he is merciful, and compassionate and just.

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

Acceptable is the man that showeth mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment:

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

Because he shall not be moved for ever.

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

The just shall be in everlasting remembrance: he shall not hear the evil hearing. His heart is ready to hope in the Lord:

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

His heart is strengthened, he shall not be moved until he look over his enemies.

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

He hath distributed, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever and ever: his horn shall be exalted in glory.

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

The wicked shall see, and shall be angry, he shall gnash with his teeth and pine away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
