Psalms 112

1 Hallelujah! Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

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

2 His seed shall be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

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

3 Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house; and his righteousness abideth for ever.

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

4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness; he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

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

5 It is well with the man that is gracious and lendeth; he will sustain his cause in judgment.

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

6 For he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

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

7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is fixed confiding in Jehovah;

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

8 His heart is maintained, he is not afraid, until he see [his desire] upon his oppressors.

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

9 He scattereth abroad, he giveth to the needy; his righteousness abideth for ever: his horn shall be exalted with honour.

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

10 The wicked [man] shall see [it] and be vexed; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

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