Psalms 111

1 Hallelujah. I will give thanks unto the LORD with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

Jeg vil prise Herren af ganske Hjerte i de oprigtiges Raad og i Menigheden.

2 The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have delight therein.

Herrens Gerninger ere store, de blive søgte af alle dem, som have Lyst til dem.

3 His work is glory and majesty; and His righteousness endureth for ever.

Hans Værk er Majestæt og Herlighed, og hans Retfærdighed bestaar alle Tider.

4 He hath made a memorial for His wonderful works; the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

Han beskikkede en Ihukommelse om sine underfulde Gerninger; naadig og barmhjertig er Herren.

5 He hath given food unto them that fear Him; He will ever be mindful of His covenant.

Han har givet dem Spise, som frygte ham, han kommer evindelig sin Pagt i Hu.

6 He hath declared to His people the power of His works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.

Han har ladet sine Gerningers Kraft forkynde for sit Folk, idet han har givet dem Hedningernes Arv.

7 The works of His hands are truth and justice; all His precepts are sure.

Hans Hænders Gerninger ere Sandhed og Ret, alle hans Befalinger ere trofaste.

8 They are established for ever and ever, they are done in truth and uprightness.

De ere grundfaste altid og evindelig, de ere satte i Sandhed og Oprigtighed.

9 He hath sent redemption unto His people; He hath commanded His covenant for ever; Holy and awful is His name.

Han sendte sit Folk Forløsning, han stiftede sin Pagt for evigt; hans Navn er helligt og forfærdeligt.

10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do thereafter; His praise endureth for ever.

Herrens Frygt er Visdoms Begyndelse, en god Klogskab hos alle dem, som gøre derefter; hans Pris bestaar altid.
