1Praise Yah! Psalm 112 is an acrostic poem, with each verse after the initial “Praise Yah!” starting with a letter of the alphabet (ordered from Alef to Tav). Blessed is the man who fears Yahweh, who delights greatly in his commandments.
1Halleluja! Salig er den, der frygter Herren og ret har lyst til hans bud!
2His seed will be mighty in the land. The generation of the upright will be blessed.
2Hans Æt bliver mægtig på Jord, den oprigtiges Slægt velsignes;
3Wealth and riches are in his house. His righteousness endures forever.
3Velstand og Rigdom er i hans Hus, hans Retfærdighed varer evindelig.
4Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, merciful, and righteous.
4For den oprigtige oprinder Lys i Mørke; han er mild, barmhjertig retfærdig.
5It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment.
5Salig den, der ynkes og låner ud og styrer sine Sager med Ret;
6For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.
6thi han rokkes aldrig i Evighed, den retfærdige ihukommes for evigt;
7He will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in Yahweh.
7han frygter ikke for onde Tidender, hans Hjerte er trøstigt i Tillid, til HERREN;
8His heart is established. He will not be afraid in the end when he sees his adversaries.
8fast er hans Hjerte og uden Frygt, indtil han skuer sine Fjender med Fryd;
9He has dispersed, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honor.
9til fattige deler han rundhåndet ud, hans Retfærdighed varer evindelig; med Ære løfter hans Horn sig.
10The wicked will see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of the wicked will perish.
10Den gudløse ser det og græmmer sig, skærer Tænder og går til Grunde; de gudløses Attrå bliver til intet.
