Salme 112

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

Praise ye the LORD! Happy the man who feareth the LORD, Who taketh delight in his commandments!

2 Hans Æt bliver mægtig på Jord, den oprigtiges Slægt velsignes;

His posterity shall be mighty on the earth; The race of the righteous shall be blessed.

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

Wealth and riches shall be in his house; His righteousness shall endure for ever.

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

To the righteous shall arise light out of darkness; He is gracious and full of compassion and righteousness.

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

Happy the man who hath pity and lendeth! He shall sustain his cause in judgment;

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

Yea, he shall never be moved: The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

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

He is not afraid of evil tidings; His heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.

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

His heart is firm; he hath no fear, Till 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 scattered blessings; he hath given to the poor; His righteousness shall endure 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, and be grieved; He shall gnash his teeth, and melt away; The desire of the wicked shall perish.
