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

1 Praise the Lord!How blessed is the man who fears the Lord,Who greatly delights in His commandments.

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

2 His descendants will be mighty on earth;The generation of the upright will be blessed.

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

3 Wealth and riches are in his house,And his righteousness endures forever.

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

4 Light arises in the darkness for the upright;He is gracious and compassionate and righteous.

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

5 It is well with the man who is gracious and lends;He will maintain his cause in judgment.

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

6 For he will never be shaken;The righteous will be remembered forever.

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

7 He will not fear evil tidings;His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.

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

8 His heart is upheld, he will not fear,Until he looks with satisfaction on his adversaries.

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

9 He has given freely to the poor,His righteousness endures forever;His horn will be exalted in honor.

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

10 The wicked will see it and be vexed,He will gnash his teeth and melt away;The desire of the wicked will perish.
