< Salme 135 >

1 Lover Herrens Navn, lover, I Herrens Tjenere!
Hallelujah. Praise 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.

4 Thi Herren har udvalgt sig Jakob, Israel til sin Ejendom.
The Lord for himself chose Jacob, Israel as his own special 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, 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 he wills he does in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all the abysses.
7 Han gør, at Dampe opstige fra Jordens Grænse; han gør Lynene til Regn, han udfører Vejret af sine Forraadskamre.
Clouds he brings up from the ends of the earth, lightnings he makes for the rain, wind he brings out of his storehouses.
8 Han, som slog de førstefødte i Ægypten, baade Mennesker og Dyr;
The firstborn of Egypt he struck, both humans and animals.
9 han sendte Tegn og underlige Ting i din Midte, Ægypten! paa Farao og paa alle hans Tjenere;
Signs and wonders he sent into your midst, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and all his servants.
10 han, som slog mange Folk og ihjelslog stærke Konger:
Many nations he struck, mighty kings he slew
11 Amoriternes Konge Sihon og Basans Konge Og samt alle Riger i Kanaan;
Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan.
12 og han gav deres Land til Arv, til Arv for sit Folk Israel.
He gave their land for possession, possession to Israel his people.
13 Herre! dit Navn bliver evindelig; Herre! din Ihukommelse bliver fra Slægt til Slægt.
Your name, O Lord, is forever; your memorial world without end.
14 Thi Herren skal dømme sit Folk, og det skal angre ham for hans Tjeneres Skyld.
For the Lord secures right for his people, and takes pity upon his servants.
15 Hedningernes Afguder ere Sølv og Guld, et Menneskes Hænders Gerning.
The idols of heathen are silver made by human hands.
16 De have Mund, men tale ikke; de have Øjne, men se ikke.
They have mouths, but cannot speak: they have eyes, but cannot see.
17 De have Øren, men høre ikke, og der er ingen Aande i deres Mund.
They have ears, but cannot hear: 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.
Their makers become like them, so do all who trust in them.
19 Israels Hus! lover Herren; Arons Hus! lover Herren.
House of Israel, praise the Lord: house of Araon, praise the Lord.
20 Levis Hus! lover Herren; I, som frygte Herren! lover Herren.
House of Levi, praise the Lord: you who fear the Lord, praise the Lord.
21 Lovet være Herren fra Zion, han, som bor i Jerusalem! Halleluja!
Blest be the Lord out of Zion, who lives in Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
