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.

Halleluja! Salig er den, der frygter HERREN og ret har Lyst til hans Bud!

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

Hans Æt bliver mægtig paa Jord, den Oprigtiges Slægt velsignes;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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