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, for your mercy, and for your truth’s sake.
2 Hvorfor skulle Hedningerne sige: Hvor er nu deres Gud?
Why should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
3 Men vor Gud er i Himlene, han gør alt, hvad ham behager.
But our God is in the heavens: he has done whatever he has 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 mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
6 De have Øren, men kunne ikke høre; de have Næse, men kunne ikke lugte.
They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but 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, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they 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 to them; so is every one that trusts in them.
9 Israel! forlad dig paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
O Israel, trust you in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
10 Arons Hus! forlader eder paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
11 I, som frygte Herren, forlader eder paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
You that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: 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.
The LORD has been mindful of us: he will bless us; 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 the LORD, both small and great.
14 Herren formere eder, eder og eders Børn!
The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
15 Velsignede være I for Herren, som har gjort Himmel og Jord.
You are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.
16 Himlene ere Herrens Himle, men Jorden gav han Menneskens Børn.
The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s: but the earth has 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 the LORD, 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 the LORD from this time forth and for ever more. Praise the LORD.
