Salme 112

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

Alleluia. Blessed is the man that fears the Lord: he will delight greatly in his commandments.

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

His seed shall be mighty in the earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

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

Glory and riches shall be in his house; and his righteousness endures for evermore.

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

To the upright light has sprung up in darkness: he is pitiful, and merciful, and righteous.

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

The good man is he that pities and lends: he will direct his affairs with judgment.

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

For he shall not be moved for ever; the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

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

He shall not be afraid of [any] evil report: his heart is ready to trust in the Lord.

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

His heart is established, he shall not fear, till he shall see [his desire] upon his enemies.

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

He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for evermore: his horn shall be exalted with honour.

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

The sinner shall see and be angry, he shall gnash his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the sinner shall perish.
