Psalms 111

1 Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with [my] whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, 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 them that have pleasure in them.

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

3 His work [is] honorable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

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

4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD [is] gracious and full of compassion.

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

5 He hath given food to them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

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

6 He hath shown his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

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

7 The works of his hands [are] verity and judgment; all his commandments [are] sure.

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

8 They stand fast for ever and ever, [and are] done in truth and uprightness.

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

9 He sent redemption to his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend [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 that do [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.
