Psalms 112

1 Hallelujah! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in His commandments.

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

2 His descendants will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will 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 endures forever.

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

4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright— for the gracious, compassionate, and righteous.

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

5 It is well with the man who is generous and lends freely, whose affairs are guided by justice.

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

6 Surely he will never be shaken; the righteous man will be remembered forever.

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

7 He does not fear bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

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

8 His heart is assured; he does not fear, until he looks in triumph on his foes.

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

9 He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor.

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

10 The wicked man will see and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the desires of the wicked will perish.

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