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.

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

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

Store er Herrens gerninger, gennemtænkte til bunds.

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

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

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

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

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

Dem, der frygter ham, giver han føde, han kommer for evigt 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 viste sit folk sine vældige gerninger, da han gav dem folkenes eje.

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

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

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

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

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 udløsning, stifted sin pagt for evigt. Helligt og frygteligt er hans navn.

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; forstandig er hver, som øver den. Evigt varer hans pris!
