Psalms 112

1 Let the Lord be praised. Happy is the man who gives honour to the Lord, and has great delight in his laws.

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

2 His seed will be strong on the earth; blessings will be on the generation of the upright.

Hans Sæd skal være mægtig paa Jorden; de oprigtiges Slægt skal velsignes.

3 A store of wealth will be in his house, and his righteousness will be for ever.

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

4 For the upright there is a light shining in the dark; he is full of grace and pity.

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

5 All is well for the man who is kind and gives freely to others; he will make good his cause when he is judged.

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

6 He will not ever be moved; the memory of the upright will be living for ever.

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

7 He will have no fear of evil news; his heart is fixed, for his hope is in the Lord.

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

8 His heart is resting safely, he will have no fear, till he sees trouble come on his haters.

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

9 He has given with open hands to the poor; his righteousness is for ever; his horn will be lifted up with honour.

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

10 The sinner will see it with grief; he will be wasted away with envy; the desire of the evil-doers will come to nothing.

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