< Salme 113 >
1 Lover, I Herrens Tjenere, lover Herrens Navn!
Praise Yahweh. Praise him, you servants of Yahweh; praise the name of Yahweh.
2 Lovet være Herrens Navn fra nu og indtil evig Tid!
Blessed be the name of Yahweh, both now and forevermore.
3 Fra Solens Opgang indtil dens Nedgang er Herrens Navn højlovet.
From the rising of the sun to its setting, Yahweh's name should be praised.
4 Herren er høj over alle Hedninger, hans Herlighed er over Himlene.
Yahweh is exalted above all nations, and his glory reaches above the skies.
5 Hvo er som Herren vor Gud? han, som har sat sit Sæde højt;
Who is like Yahweh our God, who has his seat on high,
6 han, som stiger dybt ned for at se, i Himlene og paa Jorden;
who looks down at the sky and at the earth?
7 han, som oprejser den ringe af Støvet, som ophøjer en fattig af Skarnet
He raises up the poor out of the dirt and lifts up the needy from the ash heap,
8 for at sætte ham hos Fyrster, hos sit Folks Fyrster;
so that he may seat him with princes, with the princes of his people.
9 han, som gør, at den ufrugtbare i Huset kommer til at bo som en glad Barnemoder. Halleluja.
He gives a home to the barren woman of the house, he makes her a joyful mother of children. Praise Yahweh!
