< Salme 113 >
1 Lover, I Herrens Tjenere, lover Herrens Navn!
Praise the LORD! Praise, you servants of the LORD, praise the LORD’s name.
2 Lovet være Herrens Navn fra nu og indtil evig Tid!
Blessed be the LORD’s name, from this time forward and forever more.
3 Fra Solens Opgang indtil dens Nedgang er Herrens Navn højlovet.
From the rising of the sun to its going down, the LORD’s name is to be praised.
4 Herren er høj over alle Hedninger, hans Herlighed er over Himlene.
The LORD is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.
5 Hvo er som Herren vor Gud? han, som har sat sit Sæde højt;
Who is like the LORD, our God, who has his seat on high,
6 han, som stiger dybt ned for at se, i Himlene og paa Jorden;
who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth?
7 han, som oprejser den ringe af Støvet, som ophøjer en fattig af Skarnet
He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts up the needy from the ash heap,
8 for at sætte ham hos Fyrster, hos sit Folks Fyrster;
that he may set him with princes, even 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 settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD!
