Salme 146

1 Min Sjæl! lov Herren!

Hallelujah. Praise, O my soul, the Lord.

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

I will praise the Lord throughout my life: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

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

Put not your trust in princes, in the 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.

When his spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his [native] earth: on that very day perish his thoughts.

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

[But] happy is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is on 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 hath made heaven, and 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 justice for the oppressed: who giveth bread to the hungry: the Lord looseneth the prisoners;

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

The Lord causeth the blind to see; the Lord raiseth up those who are bowed down; the Lord loveth the righteous:

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

The Lord guardeth the strangers; the fatherless and widow he helpeth up; but the way of the wicked he maketh crooked.

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

The Lord will reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Hallelujah.
