Psalms 112

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

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

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

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

3 Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

til fattige deler han rundhåndet ud, hans Retfærdighed varer evindelig; med Ære løfter hans Horn sig.

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 gudløse ser det og græmmer sig, skærer Tænder og går til Grunde; de gudløses Attrå bliver til intet.
