Psalms 112

1 PRAISE ye the Lord. Blessed 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 på Jord, den oprigtiges Slægt velsignes;

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

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

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

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

5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

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

6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be 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 fixed, 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 see his desire upon his enemies.

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

9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

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

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 gudløse ser det og græmmer sig, skærer Tænder og går til Grunde; de gudløses Attrå bliver til intet.
