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

¹Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.

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

²Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed.

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

³Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.

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

⁴Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

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

⁵Good [is] the man — gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.

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

⁶For — to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.

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

⁷Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.

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

⁸Sustained is his heart — he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.

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

⁹He hath scattered — hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.

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

¹⁰The wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!
