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.

Halleluja! jeg takker HERREN af hele mit Hjerte i Oprigtiges Kreds og Menighed!

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

Store er HERRENS Gerninger, gennemtænkte til Bunds.

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

Hans Værk er Højhed og Herlighed, hans Retfærd bliver til evig Tid.

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

Han har sørget for, at hans Undere mindes, naadig og barmhjertig er HERREN.

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

Dem, der frygter ham, giver han Føde, han kommer for evigt sin Pagt i Hu.

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

Han viste sit Folk sine vældige Gerninger, da han gav dem Folkenes Eje.

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

Hans Hænders Værk er Sandhed og Ret, man kan lide paa alle hans Bud;

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

de staar i al Evighed fast, udført i Sandhed og Retsind.

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 Udløsning, stifted sin Pagt for evigt. Helligt og frygteligt er hans Navn.

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; forstandig er hver, som øver den. Evigt varer hans Pris!
