Salme 146

1 Min Sjæl! lov Herren!

Alleluia. Of Haggai and Zachariah.

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

Praise the Lord, O my soul. I will praise the Lord with my life. I will sing psalms to my God as long as I shall be. Do not trust in the leaders,

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

in the sons of men, in whom there is no salvation.

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

His spirit will depart, and he will return to his earth. In that day, all their thoughts will perish.

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

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

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 the things that are in them.

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

He preserves the truth forever. He executes judgment for those who suffer injury. He provides food for the hungry. The Lord releases those who are bound.

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

The Lord enlightens the blind. The Lord sets upright those who have been thrown down. The Lord loves the just.

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

The Lord watches over new arrivals. He will support the orphan and the widow. And he will destroy the ways of sinners.

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

The Lord shall reign forever: your God, O Zion, from generation to generation.
