Psalms 111

1 Praise ye Jah! I thank Jehovah with the whole heart, In the secret meeting of the upright, And of the company.

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

2 Great [are] the works of Jehovah, Sought out by all desiring them.

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

3 Honourable and majestic is His work, And His righteousness is standing for ever.

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

4 A memorial He hath made of His wonders, Gracious and merciful [is] Jehovah.

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

5 Prey He hath given to those fearing Him, He remembereth to the age His covenant.

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

6 The power of His works He hath declared to His people, To give to them the inheritance of 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] true and just, Stedfast [are] all His appointments.

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

8 They are sustained for ever to the age. They are made in truth and uprightness.

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

9 Redemption He hath sent to His people, He hath appointed to the age His covenant, Holy and fearful [is] His name.

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

10 The beginning of wisdom [is] fear of Jehovah, Good understanding have all doing them, His praise [is] standing for ever!

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