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.

Halleluja! jeg takker Herren af hele mit hjerte i oprigtiges kreds og i menighed!

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

Store er Herrens gerninger, gennemtænkte til bunds.

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

Hans værk er højhed og herlighed, hans retfærd bliver til evig tid.

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

Han har sørget for, at hans undere mindes, nådig og barmhjertig er Herren.

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

Dem, der frygter ham, giver han føde, han kommer for evigt sin pagt i hu.

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

Han viste sit folk sine vældige gerninger, da han gav dem folkenes eje.

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

Hans hænders værk er sandhed og ret, man kan lide på alle hans bud;

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

de står i al evighed fast, udført i sandhed og retsind.

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

Han sendte sit folk udløsning, stifted sin pagt for evigt. Helligt og frygteligt er hans navn.

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; forstandig er hver, som øver den. Evigt varer hans pris!
