Psalms 111

1 Praise ye the Lord. I will prayse the Lord with my whole heart in the assemblie and Congregation of the iust.

Halleluja! jeg takker Herren af hele mit hjerte i oprigtiges kreds og i menighed!

2 The workes of the Lord are great, and ought to be sought out of al them that loue them.

Store er Herrens gerninger, gennemtænkte til bunds.

3 His worke is beautifull and glorious, and his righteousnesse endureth for euer.

Hans værk er højhed og herlighed, hans retfærd bliver til evig tid.

4 He hath made his wonderfull workes to be had in remembrance: the Lord is mercifull and full of compassion.

Han har sørget for, at hans undere mindes, nådig og barmhjertig er Herren.

5 He hath giuen a portion vnto them that feare him: he wil euer be mindfull of his couenant.

Dem, der frygter ham, giver han føde, han kommer for evigt sin pagt i hu.

6 He hath shewed to his people the power of his workes in giuing vnto them the heritage of the heathen.

Han viste sit folk sine vældige gerninger, da han gav dem folkenes eje.

7 The workes of his handes are trueth and iudgement: all his statutes are true.

Hans hænders værk er sandhed og ret, man kan lide på alle hans bud;

8 They are stablished for euer and euer, and are done in trueth and equitie.

de står i al evighed fast, udført i sandhed og retsind.

9 He sent redemption vnto his people: he hath commanded his couenant for euer: holy and fearefull is his Name.

Han sendte sit folk udløsning, stifted sin pagt for evigt. Helligt og frygteligt er hans navn.

10 The beginning of wisedome is the feare of the Lord: all they that obserue them, haue good vnderstanding: his praise endureth for euer.

Herrens frygt er visdoms begyndelse; forstandig er hver, som øver den. Evigt varer hans pris!
