Psalms 111

1 Praise the LORD. I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

Jeg vil prise Herren af ganske Hjerte i de oprigtiges Raad og i Menigheden.

2 The LORD's works are great, pondered by all those who delight in them.

Herrens Gerninger ere store, de blive søgte af alle dem, som have Lyst til dem.

3 His work is honor and majesty. His righteousness endures forever.

Hans Værk er Majestæt og Herlighed, og hans Retfærdighed bestaar alle Tider.

4 He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered. The LORD is gracious and merciful.

Han beskikkede en Ihukommelse om sine underfulde Gerninger; naadig og barmhjertig er Herren.

5 He has given food to those who fear him. He always remembers his covenant.

Han har givet dem Spise, som frygte ham, han kommer evindelig sin Pagt i Hu.

6 He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.

Han har ladet sine Gerningers Kraft forkynde for sit Folk, idet han har givet dem Hedningernes Arv.

7 The works of his hands are truth and justice. All his precepts are sure.

Hans Hænders Gerninger ere Sandhed og Ret, alle hans Befalinger ere trofaste.

8 They are established forever and ever. They are done in truth and uprightness.

De ere grundfaste altid og evindelig, de ere satte i Sandhed og Oprigtighed.

9 He has sent redemption to his people. He has ordained his covenant forever. His name is holy and awesome.

Han sendte sit Folk Forløsning, han stiftede sin Pagt for evigt; hans Navn er helligt og forfærdeligt.

10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. All those who do his work have a good understanding. His praise endures forever.

Herrens Frygt er Visdoms Begyndelse, en god Klogskab hos alle dem, som gøre derefter; hans Pris bestaar altid.
