Salme 135
1 Lover Herrens Navn, lover, I Herrens Tjenere!
Praise ye the LORD! Praise ye the name of the LORD! Praise him, O ye servants of the LORD!
2 I, som staa i Herrens Hus, i vor Guds Hus's Forgaarde.
Ye 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 ye the LORD, for the LORD is good; Praise his name, for he is kind!
4 Thi Herren har udvalgt sig Jakob, Israel til sin Ejendom.
For the LORD chose Jacob for himself, And Israel for his own possession.
5 Thi jeg ved, at Herren er stor, og at vor Herre er større end alle Guder.
I know that the LORD is great; 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.
All that the LORD pleaseth, that he doeth, In heaven and upon 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.
He causeth the clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; He maketh lightnings for the rain; He bringeth the wind from his store-houses.
8 Han, som slog de førstefødte i Ægypten, baade Mennesker og Dyr;
He smote the first-born 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 thee, O Egypt! Against Pharaoh and all his servants!
10 han, som slog mange Folk og ihjelslog stærke Konger:
He smote many nations, And slew mighty kings;
11 Amoriternes Konge Sihon og Basans Konge Og samt alle Riger i Kanaan;
Sihon, the king of the Amorites, And Og, the king of Bashan, And all the kings of Canaan;
12 og han gav deres Land til Arv, til Arv for sit Folk Israel.
And gave their land for an inheritance, For an inheritance to Israel, his people.
13 Herre! dit Navn bliver evindelig; Herre! din Ihukommelse bliver fra Slægt til Slægt.
Thy name, O LORD! endureth for ever; Thy memorial, O LORD! to all generations!
14 Thi Herren skal dømme sit Folk, og det skal angre ham for hans Tjeneres Skyld.
For the LORD judgeth his people, And hath compassion on 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; Eyes have they, 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; And there is no breath in their mouths.
18 Ligesom disse ere, saa blive de, som gøre dem, ja, hver den, som forlader sig paa dem.
They that make them are like them; So is every one that trusteth in them.
19 Israels Hus! lover Herren; Arons Hus! lover Herren.
Praise the LORD, O house of Israel! Praise the LORD, O house of Aaron!
20 Levis Hus! lover Herren; I, som frygte Herren! lover Herren.
Praise the LORD, O house of Levi! Ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD!
21 Lovet være Herren fra Zion, han, som bor i Jerusalem! Halleluja!
Praised be the LORD out of Zion, He that dwelleth in Jerusalem! Praise ye the LORD!
