Psalms 112

1 Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in His commandments.

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

2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

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

3 Wealth and riches are in his house; and his merit endureth for ever.

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

4 Unto the upright He shineth as a light in the darkness, gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

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

5 Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth, that ordereth his affairs rightfully.

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

6 For he shall never be moved; the righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.

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

7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is stedfast, trusting in the LORD.

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

8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he gaze upon his adversaries.

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

9 He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the needy; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honour.

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

10 The wicked shall see it, and be vexed; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away; the desire of the wicked shall perish.

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