Salme 115
1 Ikke os, Herre! ikke os, men dit Navn give du Ære for din Miskundhed, for din Sandheds Skyld.
Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth's sake.
2 Hvorfor skulle Hedningerne sige: Hvor er nu deres Gud?
Wherefore should the nations say, Where then is their God?
3 Men vor Gud er i Himlene, han gør alt, hvad ham behager.
But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he pleased.
4 Deres Billeder ere Sølv og Guld, Menneskehænders Gerning.
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:
5 De have Mund, men kunne ikke tale; de have Øjne, men kunne ikke se.
They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;
6 De have Øren, men kunne ikke høre; de have Næse, men kunne ikke lugte.
They have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not;
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 they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat.
8 Ligesom de ere, saa vorde de, der gøre dem, hver den, som forlader sig paa dem.
They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them.
9 Israel! forlad dig paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
O Israel, confide thou in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
10 Arons Hus! forlader eder paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
House of Aaron, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
11 I, som frygte Herren, forlader eder paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
Ye that fear Jehovah, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
12 Herren kom os i Hu, han skal velsigne, han skal velsigne Israels Hus, han skal velsigne Arons Hus.
Jehovah hath been mindful of us: he will bless, he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron;
13 Han skal velsigne dem, som frygte Herren, de smaa med de store.
He will bless them that fear Jehovah, both the small and the great.
14 Herren formere eder, eder og eders Børn!
Jehovah will add unto you more, unto you and unto your children.
15 Velsignede være I for Herren, som har gjort Himmel og Jord.
Ye are blessed of Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.
16 Himlene ere Herrens Himle, men Jorden gav han Menneskens Børn.
The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
17 De døde love ikke Herren, ej heller nogen af dem, som nedfare til det stille.
The dead praise not Jah, neither any that go down into silence;
18 Men vi, vi ville love Herren fra nu og indtil evig Tid. Halleluja!
But we will bless Jah from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah!
