Psalms 112

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

Salig den Mand, som frygter Herren, som har stor Glæde ved hans Bud.

2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: The generation of the upright shall be blessed.

Hans Sæd skal være mægtig paa Jorden; de oprigtiges Slægt skal velsignes.

3 Wealth and riches are in his house; And his righteousness endureth for ever.

Gods og Rigdom er i hans Hus, og hans Retfærdighed bestaar altid.

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

Der er opgaaet et Lys i Mørket for de oprigtige, for den, som er naadig og barmhjertig og retfærdig.

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

Lyksalig den Mand, som forbarmer sig og udlaaner, som opholder sine Sager ved Retfærdighed.

6 For he shall never be moved; The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.

Thi han skal ikke rokkes evindelig, en retfærdig skal være til en evig Ihukommelse.

7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: His heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah.

Han skal ikke frygte for onde Tidender, hans Hjerte er fast, han forlader sig paa Herren.

8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, Until he see [his desire] upon his adversaries.

Hans Hjerte er grundfast, han skal ikke frygte, indtil han ser sin Glæde paa sine Fjender.

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

Han udspreder, han giver de fattige; hans Retfærdighed bestaar altid, hans Horn skal ophøjes med Ære.

10 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: The desire of the wicked shall perish.

Den ugudelige skal se det og harmes; han skal skære Tænder og hensmeltes; de ugudeliges Ønske bliver til intet.
