Salme 112

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

Praise Yahweh. Blessed is the man who obeys Yahweh, who greatly delights in his commandments.

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

His descendants will be powerful on earth; the descendants of the godly man will be blessed.

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

Wealth and riches are in his house; his righteousness will endure forever.

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

Light shines in the darkness for the godly person; he is gracious, merciful, and just.

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

It goes well for the man who deals graciously and lends money, who conducts his affairs with honesty.

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

For he will never be moved; the righteous person will be remembered forever.

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

He does not fear bad news; he is confident, trusting in Yahweh.

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

His heart is tranquil, without fear, until he looks in triumph over his adversaries.

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

He generously gives to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; he will be exalted with honor.

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

The wicked person will see this and be angry; he will grind his teeth in rage and he will melt away; the desire of the wicked people will perish.
