Salme 111

1 Halleluja! jeg takker Herren af hele mit hjerte i oprigtiges kreds og i menighed!

Hallelujah! I will celebrate Jehovah with [my] whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the assembly.

2 Store er Herrens gerninger, gennemtænkte til bunds.

Great are the works of Jehovah; sought out of all that delight in them.

3 Hans værk er højhed og herlighed, hans retfærd bliver til evig tid.

His work is majesty and splendour, and his righteousness abideth for ever.

4 Han har sørget for, at hans undere mindes, nådig og barmhjertig er Herren.

He hath made his wonders to be remembered: Jehovah is gracious and merciful.

5 Dem, der frygter ham, giver han føde, han kommer for evigt sin pagt i hu.

He hath given meat unto them that fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.

6 Han viste sit folk sine vældige gerninger, da han gav dem folkenes eje.

He hath shewn his people the power of his works, to give them the heritage of the nations.

7 Hans hænders værk er sandhed og ret, man kan lide på alle hans bud;

The works of his hands are truth and judgment; all his precepts are faithful:

8 de står i al evighed fast, udført i sandhed og retsind.

Maintained for ever and ever, done in truth and uprightness.

9 Han sendte sit folk udløsning, stifted sin pagt for evigt. Helligt og frygteligt er hans navn.

He sent deliverance unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and terrible is his name.

10 Herrens frygt er visdoms begyndelse; forstandig er hver, som øver den. Evigt varer hans pris!

The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do [his precepts]: his praise abideth for ever.
