Salme 135
1 Lover Herrens Navn, lover, I Herrens Tjenere!
Praise ye Jehovah. Praise ye the name of Jehovah. Praise, O ye servants of Jehovah,
2 I, som staa i Herrens Hus, i vor Guds Hus's Forgaarde.
ye who stand in the house of Jehovah, in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Lover Herren; thi Herren er god; lovsynger hans Navn; thi det er lifligt.
Praise ye Jehovah, for Jehovah is good. Sing praises to his name, for it is pleasant.
4 Thi Herren har udvalgt sig Jakob, Israel til sin Ejendom.
For Jehovah has chosen Jacob to himself, Israel for his own possession.
5 Thi jeg ved, at Herren er stor, og at vor Herre er større end alle Guder.
For I know that Jehovah is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
6 Herren gør alt, hvad ham behager, i Himmelen og paa Jorden, i Havene og i alle Afgrunde.
Whatever Jehovah pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps,
7 Han gør, at Dampe opstige fra Jordens Grænse; han gør Lynene til Regn, han udfører Vejret af sine Forraadskamre.
who causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth, who makes lightnings for the rain, who brings forth the wind out of his treasuries,
8 Han, som slog de førstefødte i Ægypten, baade Mennesker og Dyr;
who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast,
9 han sendte Tegn og underlige Ting i din Midte, Ægypten! paa Farao og paa alle hans Tjenere;
who sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants,
10 han, som slog mange Folk og ihjelslog stærke Konger:
who smote many nations, and killed mighty kings-
11 Amoriternes Konge Sihon og Basans Konge Og samt alle Riger i Kanaan;
Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan-
12 og han gav deres Land til Arv, til Arv for sit Folk Israel.
and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel his people.
13 Herre! dit Navn bliver evindelig; Herre! din Ihukommelse bliver fra Slægt til Slægt.
Thy name, O Jehovah, is forever, thy memorial, O Jehovah, throughout all generations.
14 Thi Herren skal dømme sit Folk, og det skal angre ham for hans Tjeneres Skyld.
For Jehovah will judge his people, and will relent concerning his servants.
15 Hedningernes Afguder ere Sølv og Guld, et Menneskes Hænders Gerning.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
16 De have Mund, men tale ikke; de have Øjne, men se ikke.
They have mouths, but they speak not. They have eyes, but they see not.
17 De have Øren, men høre ikke, og der er ingen Aande i deres Mund.
They have ears, but they hear not, nor is there any breath in their mouths.
18 Ligesom disse ere, saa blive de, som gøre dem, ja, hver den, som forlader sig paa dem.
Those who make them shall be like them, yea, everyone who trusts in them.
19 Israels Hus! lover Herren; Arons Hus! lover Herren.
O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah. O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah.
20 Levis Hus! lover Herren; I, som frygte Herren! lover Herren.
O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah. Ye who fear Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.
21 Lovet være Herren fra Zion, han, som bor i Jerusalem! Halleluja!
Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, who dwells at Jerusalem. Praise ye Jehovah.
