Psalms 111

1 Praise ye the LORD! I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, In the assembly of the righteous, and in the congregation.

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

2 The works of the LORD are great, Sought out by all who have pleasure in them.

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

3 His deeds are honorable and glorious, And his righteousness endureth for ever.

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

4 He hath established a memorial of his wonders; The LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

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

5 He giveth meat to them that fear him; He is ever mindful of his covenant.

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

6 He showed his people the greatness of his works, When he gave them the inheritance of the heathen.

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

7 The deeds of his hands are truth and justice; All his commandments are sure;

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

8 They stand firm for ever and ever, Being founded in truth and justice.

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

9 He sent redemption to his people; He established his covenant for ever; Holy, and to be had in reverence, is his name.

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; A good understanding have all they who keep his commandments; His praise endureth for ever.

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