Salme 112

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

Praise ye Yah! How happy is the man who revereth Yahweh, In his commandments, delighteth he greatly;

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

Mighty in the earth, shall be his seed, The generation of the upright, shall be blessed;

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

Wealth and riches, shall be in his house, and, his righteousness, standeth for aye.

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

Risen—in darkness, is light to the upright, The gracious and compassionate and righteous.

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

Well for a man showing favour and lending! He shall sustain his affairs with justice.

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

Surely, unto times age-abiding, shall he not be shaken, In remembrance, age-abiding, shall the righteous one remain;

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

Of evil tidings, shall he not be afraid, Established is his heart, led to trust in Yahweh;

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

Upheld is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until that he gazeth on his foes.

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

He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the needy, His righteousness, standeth for aye, His horn, shall be exalted in honour.

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

The lawless one, shall see, and be indignant, his teeth, will he gnash and melt away, The craving of the lawless, shall vanish.
