Salme 115
1 Ikke os, Herre! ikke os, men dit Navn give du Ære for din Miskundhed, for din Sandheds Skyld.
Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory.
2 Hvorfor skulle Hedningerne sige: Hvor er nu deres Gud?
Give glory to your mercy and your truth, lest the Gentiles should say, “Where is their God?”
3 Men vor Gud er i Himlene, han gør alt, hvad ham behager.
But our God is in heaven. All things whatsoever that he has willed, he has done.
4 Deres Billeder ere Sølv og Guld, Menneskehænders Gerning.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men.
5 De have Mund, men kunne ikke tale; de have Øjne, men kunne ikke se.
They have mouths, and do not speak; they have eyes, and do not see.
6 De have Øren, men kunne ikke høre; de have Næse, men kunne ikke lugte.
They have ears, and do not hear; they have noses, and do not smell.
7 De have Hænder, men kunne ikke føle; de have Fødder, men kunne ikke gaa; de kunne ikke tale med deres Strube.
They have hands, and do not feel; they have feet, and do not walk. Neither will they cry out with their throat.
8 Ligesom de ere, saa vorde de, der gøre dem, hver den, som forlader sig paa dem.
Let those who make them become like them, along with all who trust in them.
9 Israel! forlad dig paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
The house of Israel has hoped in the Lord. He is their helper and their protector.
10 Arons Hus! forlader eder paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
The house of Aaron has hoped in the Lord. He is their helper and their protector.
11 I, som frygte Herren, forlader eder paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
Those who fear the Lord have hoped in the Lord. He is their helper and their protector.
12 Herren kom os i Hu, han skal velsigne, han skal velsigne Israels Hus, han skal velsigne Arons Hus.
The Lord has been mindful of us, and he has blessed us. He has blessed the house of Israel. He has blessed the house of Aaron.
13 Han skal velsigne dem, som frygte Herren, de smaa med de store.
He has blessed all who fear the Lord, the small with the great.
14 Herren formere eder, eder og eders Børn!
May the Lord add blessings upon you: upon you, and upon your sons.
15 Velsignede være I for Herren, som har gjort Himmel og Jord.
Blessed are you by the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
16 Himlene ere Herrens Himle, men Jorden gav han Menneskens Børn.
The heaven of heaven is for the Lord, but the earth he has given to the sons of men.
17 De døde love ikke Herren, ej heller nogen af dem, som nedfare til det stille.
The dead will not praise you, Lord, and neither will all those who descend into Hell. (questioned)
18 Men vi, vi ville love Herren fra nu og indtil evig Tid. Halleluja!
But we who live will bless the Lord, from this time forward, and even forever.
