Psalms 112

1 Praise the Lord! Happy are those who respect the Lord, who love to do what he says!

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

2 Their descendants will prosper in the land; the children of those who do good will be blessed.

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

3 Their families will be wealthy; the good they do has eternal results.

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

4 Light shines in the darkness for those who live right, for those who are gracious, compassionate, and good.

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

5 Good things come to those who are generous in their lending and are honest in doing business.

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

6 They will never fall. Those who live right won't be forgotten.

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

7 They aren't afraid of bad news because they rely totally on the Lord.

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

8 They are confident and brave, and see their enemies defeated.

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

9 They share generously, giving to the poor; the good they do has eternal results. They are greatly respected.

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

10 The wicked observe all this and are mad; they gnash their teeth in anger. They waste away, and all that they hoped for comes to nothing.

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