Salme 146

1 Min Sjæl! lov Herren!

Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

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

As long as I live will I praise Jehovah; I will sing psalms unto my God while I have my being.

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

Put not confidence in nobles, in a son of man, 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 breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his purposes perish.

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

Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah 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 the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;

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

Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;

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

Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;

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

Jehovah preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert.

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

Jehovah will reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Hallelujah!
