Psalms 111

1 Praise Yahweh. I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart in the assembly of the upright, in their gathering.

Halleluja! jeg takker Herren af hele mit hjerte i oprigtiges kreds og i menighed!

2 The works of Yahweh are great, eagerly awaited by all those who desire them.

Store er Herrens gerninger, gennemtænkte til bunds.

3 His work is majestic and glorious, and his righteousness endures forever.

Hans værk er højhed og herlighed, hans retfærd bliver til evig tid.

4 He does wonderful things that will be remembered; Yahweh is gracious and merciful.

Han har sørget for, at hans undere mindes, nådig og barmhjertig er Herren.

5 He gives food to his faithful followers. He will always call to mind his covenant.

Dem, der frygter ham, giver han føde, han kommer for evigt sin pagt i hu.

6 He showed his powerful works to his people in giving them the inheritance of the nations.

Han viste sit folk sine vældige gerninger, da han gav dem folkenes eje.

7 The works of his hands are trustworthy and just; all his instructions are reliable.

Hans hænders værk er sandhed og ret, man kan lide på alle hans bud;

8 They are established forever, to be observed faithfully and properly.

de står i al evighed fast, udført i sandhed og retsind.

9 He gave victory to his people; he ordained his covenant forever; holy and awesome is his name.

Han sendte sit folk udløsning, stifted sin pagt for evigt. Helligt og frygteligt er hans navn.

10 To honor Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom; those who carry out his instructions have good understanding. His praise endures forever.

Herrens frygt er visdoms begyndelse; forstandig er hver, som øver den. Evigt varer hans pris!
