< Salme 135 >

1 Lover Herrens Navn, lover, I Herrens Tjenere!
Alleluia. Praise you the name of the Lord; praise the Lord, [you his] servants,
2 I, som staa i Herrens Hus, i vor Guds Hus's Forgaarde.
who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Lover Herren; thi Herren er god; lovsynger hans Navn; thi det er lifligt.
Praise you the Lord; for the Lord is good: sing praises to his name; for [it is] good.
4 Thi Herren har udvalgt sig Jakob, Israel til sin Ejendom.
For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, [and] Israel for his peculiar treasure.
5 Thi jeg ved, at Herren er stor, og at vor Herre er større end alle Guder.
For I know that the Lord 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.
all that the Lord willed, he did in heaven, and on the earth, in the sea, 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 brings up clouds from the extremity of the earth: he has made lightnings for the rain: he brings winds out of his treasures.
8 Han, som slog de førstefødte i Ægypten, baade Mennesker og Dyr;
Who struck 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;
He sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt, on Pharao, and on all his servants.
10 han, som slog mange Folk og ihjelslog stærke Konger:
Who struck many nations, and killed mighty kings;
11 Amoriternes Konge Sihon og Basans Konge Og samt alle Riger i Kanaan;
Seon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan:
12 og han gav deres Land til Arv, til Arv for sit Folk Israel.
and gave their land [for] an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.
13 Herre! dit Navn bliver evindelig; Herre! din Ihukommelse bliver fra Slægt til Slægt.
O Lord, your name [endures] for ever, and your memorial to all generations.
14 Thi Herren skal dømme sit Folk, og det skal angre ham for hans Tjeneres Skyld.
For the Lord shall judge his people, and comfort himself concerning his servants.
15 Hedningernes Afguder ere Sølv og Guld, et Menneskes Hænders Gerning.
The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.
16 De have Mund, men tale ikke; de have Øjne, men se ikke.
They have a mouth, but they can’t speak; they have eyes, but they can’t see;
17 De have Øren, men høre ikke, og der er ingen Aande i deres Mund.
they have ears, but they can’t hear; for there is no breath in their mouth.
18 Ligesom disse ere, saa blive de, som gøre dem, ja, hver den, som forlader sig paa dem.
Let those who make them be made like to them; and all those who trust in them.
19 Israels Hus! lover Herren; Arons Hus! lover Herren.
O house of Israel, bless you the Lord: O house of Aaron, bless you the Lord:
20 Levis Hus! lover Herren; I, som frygte Herren! lover Herren.
O house of Levi, bless you the Lord: you that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
21 Lovet være Herren fra Zion, han, som bor i Jerusalem! Halleluja!
Blessed in Sion be the Lord, who dwells in Jerusalem.
