Salme 115
1 Ikke os, Herre! ikke os, men dit Navn give du Ære for din Miskundhed, for din Sandheds Skyld.
Not to us, LORD, not to us, but to your name be the glory, for your loving kindness and for your faithfulness.
2 Hvorfor skulle Hedningerne sige: Hvor er nu deres Gud?
Why should the nations say, "Where is their God, now?"
3 Men vor Gud er i Himlene, han gør alt, hvad ham behager.
But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.
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 do not speak. They have eyes, but they do not see.
6 De have Øren, men kunne ikke høre; de have Næse, men kunne ikke lugte.
They have ears, but they do not hear. They have noses, but they 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, but they do not feel. They have feet, but they do not walk, neither do they speak through their throat.
8 Ligesom de ere, saa vorde de, der gøre dem, hver den, som forlader sig paa dem.
Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
9 Israel! forlad dig paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
Israel, trust in the LORD. He is their help and their shield.
10 Arons Hus! forlader eder paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
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 who 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 remembers 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 those who fear the LORD, both small and great.
14 Herren formere eder, eder og eders Børn!
May the LORD increase you more and more, you and your children.
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 heavens are the heavens of the LORD; but the earth has he given to the descendants of Adam.
17 De døde love ikke Herren, ej heller nogen af dem, som nedfare til det stille.
The dead do not praise the LORD, neither any who 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 forevermore. Praise the LORD.
