Psalms 111

1 Hallelujah! I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart in the council of the upright and in the assembly.

Jeg vil prise Herren af ganske Hjerte i de oprigtiges Raad og i Menigheden.

2 Great are the works of the LORD; they are pondered by all who delight in them.

Herrens Gerninger ere store, de blive søgte af alle dem, som have Lyst til dem.

3 Splendid and majestic is His work; His righteousness endures forever.

Hans Værk er Majestæt og Herlighed, og hans Retfærdighed bestaar alle Tider.

4 He has caused His wonders to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and compassionate.

Han beskikkede en Ihukommelse om sine underfulde Gerninger; naadig og barmhjertig er Herren.

5 He provides food for those who fear Him; He remembers His covenant forever.

Han har givet dem Spise, som frygte ham, han kommer evindelig sin Pagt i Hu.

6 He has shown His people the power of His works by giving them the inheritance of the nations.

Han har ladet sine Gerningers Kraft forkynde for sit Folk, idet han har givet dem Hedningernes Arv.

7 The works of His hands are truth and justice; all His precepts are trustworthy.

Hans Hænders Gerninger ere Sandhed og Ret, alle hans Befalinger ere trofaste.

8 They are upheld forever and ever, enacted in truth and uprightness.

De ere grundfaste altid og evindelig, de ere satte i Sandhed og Oprigtighed.

9 He has sent redemption to His people; He has ordained His covenant forever; holy and awesome is His name.

Han sendte sit Folk Forløsning, han stiftede sin Pagt for evigt; hans Navn er helligt og forfærdeligt.

10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow His precepts gain rich understanding. His praise endures forever!

Herrens Frygt er Visdoms Begyndelse, en god Klogskab hos alle dem, som gøre derefter; hans Pris bestaar altid.
