< 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 Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth.
2 Hvorfor skulle Hedningerne sige: Hvor er nu deres Gud?
Why do the nations say, 'Where, pray, [is] their God.
3 Men vor Gud er i Himlene, han gør alt, hvad ham behager.
And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done.
4 Deres Billeder ere Sølv og Guld, Menneskehænders Gerning.
Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man's hands,
5 De have Mund, men kunne ikke tale; de have Øjne, men kunne ikke se.
A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,
6 De have Øren, men kunne ikke høre; de have Næse, men kunne ikke lugte.
Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, 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.
Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not;
8 Ligesom de ere, saa vorde de, der gøre dem, hver den, som forlader sig paa dem.
Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.
9 Israel! forlad dig paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
O Israel, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'
10 Arons Hus! forlader eder paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'
11 I, som frygte Herren, forlader eder paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'
12 Herren kom os i Hu, han skal velsigne, han skal velsigne Israels Hus, han skal velsigne Arons Hus.
Jehovah hath remembered us, He blesseth, He blesseth the house of Israel, He blesseth the house of Aaron,
13 Han skal velsigne dem, som frygte Herren, de smaa med de store.
He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great.
14 Herren formere eder, eder og eders Børn!
Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons.
15 Velsignede være I for Herren, som har gjort Himmel og Jord.
Blessed [are] ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,
16 Himlene ere Herrens Himle, men Jorden gav han Menneskens Børn.
The heavens — the heavens [are] Jehovah's, And the earth He hath given to sons of men,
17 De døde love ikke Herren, ej heller nogen af dem, som nedfare til det stille.
The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence.
18 Men vi, vi ville love Herren fra nu og indtil evig Tid. Halleluja!
And we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah!
