Salme 112

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

Praise Yah. Blessed is the man that feareth Yhwh, 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 shall be 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 full of compassion, and righteous.

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

A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

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

Surely 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, trusting in Yhwh.

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 enemies.

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 poor; his righteousness endureth 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 shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
