Psalms 111

1 Let the Lord be praised. I will give praise to the Lord with all my heart, among the upright, and in the meeting of the people.

Halleluja! Jeg vil prise Herren av hele mitt hjerte i de opriktiges råd og i menigheten.

2 The works of the Lord are great, searched out by all those who have delight in them.

Store er Herrens gjerninger, søkt av alle dem som har lyst til dem.

3 His work is full of honour and glory; and his righteousness is unchanging for ever.

Høihet og herlighet er hans gjerning, og hans rettferdighet står fast evindelig.

4 Certain for ever is the memory of his wonders: the Lord is full of pity and mercy.

Han har sørget for at hans undergjerninger ihukommes; Herren er nådig og barmhjertig.

5 He has given food to his worshippers; he will keep his agreement in mind for ever.

Han har gitt dem føde som frykter ham; han kommer sin pakt i hu evindelig.

6 He has made clear to his people the power of his works, giving them the heritage of the nations.

Han har kunngjort sine gjerningers kraft for sitt folk idet han har gitt dem hedningers arv.

7 The works of his hands are faith and righteousness; all his laws are unchanging.

Hans henders gjerninger er sannhet og rett, alle hans bud er trofaste;

8 They are fixed for ever and ever, they are done in faith and righteousness.

de er grunnfestet for all tid, for evighet, de er gjort i sannhet og rettvishet.

9 He has sent salvation to his people; he has given his word for ever: holy is his name and greatly to be feared.

Han har sendt sitt folk forløsning, han har fastsatt sin pakt for evig tid; hans navn er hellig og forferdelig.

10 The fear of the Lord is the best part of wisdom: all those who keep his laws are wise: his praise is eternal.

Å frykte Herren er begynnelsen til visdom; god forstand har alle de som gjør derefter. Hans pris varer til evig tid.
