Psalms 112

1 Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments.

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

2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.

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

3 Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.

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

4 To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness: he is merciful, and compassionate and just.

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

5 Acceptable is the man that showeth mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment:

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

6 Because he shall not be moved for ever.

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

7 The just shall be in everlasting remembrance: he shall not hear the evil hearing. His heart is ready to hope in the Lord:

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

8 His heart is strengthened, he shall not be moved until he look over his enemies.

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

9 He hath distributed, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever and ever: his horn shall be exalted in glory.

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

10 The wicked shall see, and shall be angry, he shall gnash with his teeth and pine away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

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