Salme 146

1 Min Sjæl! lov Herren!

Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. My soul, praise the Lord.

2 Jeg vil love Herren, medens jeg lever, jeg vil synge min Gud Psalmer, medens jeg er til.

While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

3 Forlader eder ikke paa Fyrster, paa et Menneskes Barn, hos hvem der ingen Frelse er.

Trust not in princes, nor in the children of men, in whom there is no safety.

4 Hans Aand udfarer, han vender tilbage til sit Støv; paa den Dag er det forbi med hans stolte Anslag.

His breath shall go forth, and he shall return to his earth; in that day all his thoughts shall perish.

5 Salig er den, hvis Hjælp Jakobs Gud er, hvis Haab er til Herren hans Gud;

Blessed is he whose helper is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

6 som gjorde Himmelen og Jorden, Havet og alt det, som der er i dem, han, som bliver Sandhed tro evindelig;

who made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all things in them: who keeps truth for ever:

7 som skaffer dem Ret, der lide Vold, som giver de hungrige Brød; Herren løser de bundne.

who executes judgement for the wronged: who gives food to the hungry. The Lord looses the fettered ones:

8 Herren aabner de blindes Øjne; Herren oprejser de nedbøjede; Herren elsker de retfærdige.

the Lord gives wisdom to the blind: The Lord sets up the broken down: the Lord loves the righteous: the Lord preserves the strangers;

9 Herren bevarer de fremmede; han opholder faderløse og Enker, men forvender de ugudeliges Vej.

he will relieve the orphan and widow: but will utterly remove the way of sinners.

10 Herren skal regere evindelig, din Gud, o Zion! fra Slægt til Slægt. Halleluja!

The Lord shall reign for ever, [even] your God, O Sion, to all generations.
