Psalms 112

1 Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.

Salig den Mand, som frygter Herren, som har stor Glæde ved hans Bud.

2 Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed.

Hans Sæd skal være mægtig paa Jorden; de oprigtiges Slægt skal velsignes.

3 Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.

Gods og Rigdom er i hans Hus, og hans Retfærdighed bestaar altid.

4 Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

Der er opgaaet et Lys i Mørket for de oprigtige, for den, som er naadig og barmhjertig og retfærdig.

5 Good [is] the man — gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.

Lyksalig den Mand, som forbarmer sig og udlaaner, som opholder sine Sager ved Retfærdighed.

6 For — to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.

Thi han skal ikke rokkes evindelig, en retfærdig skal være til en evig Ihukommelse.

7 Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.

Han skal ikke frygte for onde Tidender, hans Hjerte er fast, han forlader sig paa Herren.

8 Sustained is his heart — he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.

Hans Hjerte er grundfast, han skal ikke frygte, indtil han ser sin Glæde paa sine Fjender.

9 He hath scattered — hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.

Han udspreder, han giver de fattige; hans Retfærdighed bestaar altid, hans Horn skal ophøjes med Ære.

10 The wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!

Den ugudelige skal se det og harmes; han skal skære Tænder og hensmeltes; de ugudeliges Ønske bliver til intet.
