Salme 135
1 Lover Herrens Navn, lover, I Herrens Tjenere!
Hallelujah! Praise the name of Jehovah; praise, ye servants of Jehovah,
2 I, som staa i Herrens Hus, i vor Guds Hus's Forgaarde.
Ye that 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 Jah; for Jehovah is good: sing psalms unto his name; for it is pleasant.
4 Thi Herren har udvalgt sig Jakob, Israel til sin Ejendom.
For Jah hath chosen Jacob unto 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 our Lord is above all gods.
6 Herren gør alt, hvad ham behager, i Himmelen og paa Jorden, i Havene og i alle Afgrunde.
Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, he hath done in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps;
7 Han gør, at Dampe opstige fra Jordens Grænse; han gør Lynene til Regn, han udfører Vejret af sine Forraadskamre.
Who causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; who maketh lightnings for the rain; who bringeth 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 miracles 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 great nations, and slew 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 an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people.
13 Herre! dit Navn bliver evindelig; Herre! din Ihukommelse bliver fra Slægt til Slægt.
Thy name, O Jehovah, is for ever; thy memorial, O Jehovah, from generation to generation.
14 Thi Herren skal dømme sit Folk, og det skal angre ham for hans Tjeneres Skyld.
For Jehovah will judge his people, and will repent in favour of 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 a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;
17 De have Øren, men høre ikke, og der er ingen Aande i deres Mund.
They have ears, and they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth.
18 Ligesom disse ere, saa blive de, som gøre dem, ja, hver den, som forlader sig paa dem.
They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them.
19 Israels Hus! lover Herren; Arons Hus! lover Herren.
House of Israel, bless ye Jehovah; house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah;
20 Levis Hus! lover Herren; I, som frygte Herren! lover Herren.
House of Levi, bless ye Jehovah; ye that fear Jehovah, bless Jehovah.
21 Lovet være Herren fra Zion, han, som bor i Jerusalem! Halleluja!
Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem! Hallelujah!
