Psalms 112

1 Praise you the LORD. Blessed is the man that fears the LORD, that delights greatly in his commandments.

Salig den Mand, som frygter Herren, som har stor Glæde ved hans Bud.

2 His seed shall be mighty on earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

Hans Sæd skal være mægtig paa Jorden; de oprigtiges Slægt skal velsignes.

3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endures for ever.

Gods og Rigdom er i hans Hus, og hans Retfærdighed bestaar altid.

4 To the upright there rises light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

Der er opgaaet et Lys i Mørket for de oprigtige, for den, som er naadig og barmhjertig og retfærdig.

5 A good man shows favor, and lends: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

Lyksalig den Mand, som forbarmer sig og udlaaner, som opholder sine Sager ved Retfærdighed.

6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

Thi han skal ikke rokkes evindelig, en retfærdig skal være til en evig Ihukommelse.

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

Han skal ikke frygte for onde Tidender, hans Hjerte er fast, han forlader sig paa Herren.

8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire on his enemies.

Hans Hjerte er grundfast, han skal ikke frygte, indtil han ser sin Glæde paa sine Fjender.

9 He has dispersed, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honor.

Han udspreder, han giver de fattige; hans Retfærdighed bestaar altid, hans Horn skal ophøjes med Ære.

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

Den ugudelige skal se det og harmes; han skal skære Tænder og hensmeltes; de ugudeliges Ønske bliver til intet.
