Psalms 112

1 Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the Lord, that greatly delighteth in his commandments.

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

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

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

3 Plenty and riches shall be in his house, and his righteousness shall endure for ever.

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

4 There ariseth in the darkness a light to the upright: he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

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

5 Well will it be with the man who is kind, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with justice.

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

6 Surely unto eternity shall he not be moved: in everlasting remembrance shall the righteous be held.

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

7 Of an evil report shall he not be afraid: his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.

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

8 Well supported is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until he looketh on [the punishment of] his assailants.

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

9 He distributeth, he giveth to the needy: his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in 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 vexed; he will gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the longing of the wicked shall perish.

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