1 Halleluja! Sæl er den mann som ottast Herren, som hev si store lyst i hans bodord.
Praise Yahweh! (Happy are/He is pleased with) those who revere him, those who happily obey his commands.
2 Hans avkjøme skal vera veldugt på jordi, ætti av dei ærlege skal verta velsigna.
Their children will prosper in their land; and their descendants will be blessed [by God].
3 Det er velstand og rikdom i hans hus, og hans rettferd stend æveleg fast.
Their families [MTY] will be very wealthy [DOU], and [the results of] their righteous deeds will endure forever.
4 Det renn upp eit ljos i myrker for dei ærlege, nådig, miskunnsam og rettferdig er han.
Godly/Righteous people are [like] lights [SIM] that shine in the darkness on those who are kind, merciful and righteous.
5 Vel gjeng det den mann som er miskunnsam og gjev lån, han held uppe si sak i retten.
Things [will] go well for those who generously lend money to others and who conduct their businesses honestly.
6 For dei skal ikkje rikka honom i all æva, den rettferdige skal vera i ævelegt minne.
Righteous people will not be overwhelmed/worried/distressed [because of their troubles], and they will never be forgotten [by other people].
7 For vond tidend skal han ikkje ræddast; hans hjarta er fast, det lit på Herren.
They are not afraid of [receiving] bad news; they confidently/completely trust in Yahweh.
8 Hans hjarta er trygt; han ræddast ikkje, til dess han ser med lyst på sine fiendar.
They are confident and not afraid, because they know that they will see [God defeat] their enemies.
9 Han strår ut, gjev til dei fatige, hans rettferd stend alltid, hans horn skal verta upplyft med æra.
They give things generously to poor/needy [people]; [the results of] their kind deeds will endure forever, and they [will] be exalted and honored.
10 Den ugudlege skal sjå det og harmast, han skal skjera tenner og tærast upp, det dei ugudlege hev lyst til, vert upp i inkje.
Wicked people see those things and are angry; they gnash their teeth [angrily], but they [will] disappear [and die]. The [wicked] things that they want to do [will] never happen.
