Salmenes 111

1 Halleluja! Eg vil prisa Herren av alt mitt hjarta i råd og samling av ærlege.

Praise ye the LORD! I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, In the assembly of the righteous, and in the congregation.

2 Store er Herrens verk, gjenomtenkte etter alle sine fyremål.

The works of the LORD are great, Sought out by all who have pleasure in them.

3 Høgd og herlegdom er hans gjerning, og hans rettferd stend æveleg fast.

His deeds are honorable and glorious, And his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 Han hev sett eit minne for sine under, nådig og miskunnsam er Herren.

He hath established a memorial of his wonders; The LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

5 Mat hev han gjeve deim som ottast honom; han kjem æveleg i hug si pakt.

He giveth meat to them that fear him; He is ever mindful of his covenant.

6 Krafti av sine verk hev han kunngjort for sitt folk, då han gav deim arven til heidningarne.

He showed his people the greatness of his works, When he gave them the inheritance of the heathen.

7 Det hans hender gjer, er sanning og rett, alle hans fyresegner er trufaste,

The deeds of his hands are truth and justice; All his commandments are sure;

8 fast stend dei æveleg og alltid, dei er gjorde i sanning og rettvisa.

They stand firm for ever and ever, Being founded in truth and justice.

9 Han hev sendt sitt folk utløysing, han hev skipa si pakt æveleg, hans namn er heilagt og skræmelegt.

He sent redemption to his people; He established his covenant for ever; Holy, and to be had in reverence, is his name.

10 Otte for Herren er upphav til visdom, godt vit hev alle som gjer etter det. Hans pris varer æveleg.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all they who keep his commandments; His praise endureth for ever.
