Psalms 112

1 Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man, that feareth the Lord, and deliteth greatly in his commandements.

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

2 His seede shall be mightie vpon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.

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

3 Riches and treasures shalbe in his house, and his righteousnesse endureth for euer.

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

4 Vnto the righteous ariseth light in darkenes: he is merciful and full of copassion and righteous.

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

5 A good man is mercifull and lendeth, and will measure his affaires by iudgement.

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

6 Surely he shall neuer be moued: but the righteous shalbe had in euerlasting remembrance.

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

7 He will not be afraide of euill tidings: for his heart is fixed, and beleeueth in the Lord.

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

8 His heart is stablished: therefore he will not feare, vntill he see his desire vpon his enemies.

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

9 He hath distributed and giuen to ye poore: his righteousnesse remaineth for euer: his horne shalbe exalted with glory.

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

10 The wicked shall see it and be angrie: he shall gnash with his teeth, and consume 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.
