Psalms 112

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

6 Because he shall not be moved for ever.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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