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.
