Psalms 112

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

Halleluja! Salig er den, der frygter Herren og ret har lyst til hans bud!

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

Hans Æt bliver mægtig på Jord, den oprigtiges Slægt velsignes;

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

Velstand og Rigdom er i hans Hus, hans Retfærdighed varer evindelig.

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

For den oprigtige oprinder Lys i Mørke; han er mild, barmhjertig retfærdig.

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

Salig den, der ynkes og låner ud og styrer sine Sager med Ret;

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

thi han rokkes aldrig i Evighed, den retfærdige ihukommes for evigt;

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

han frygter ikke for onde Tidender, hans Hjerte er trøstigt i Tillid, til HERREN;

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

fast er hans Hjerte og uden Frygt, indtil han skuer sine Fjender med Fryd;

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

til fattige deler han rundhåndet ud, hans Retfærdighed varer evindelig; med Ære løfter hans Horn sig.

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

Den gudløse ser det og græmmer sig, skærer Tænder og går til Grunde; de gudløses Attrå bliver til intet.
