Salme 146
1 Min Sjæl! lov Herren!
Praise Yahweh! With my whole inner being I will praise Yahweh.
2 Jeg vil love Herren, medens jeg lever, jeg vil synge min Gud Psalmer, medens jeg er til.
I will praise Yahweh as long as I am alive; I will sing to praise my God for [the rest of] my life.
3 Forlader eder ikke paa Fyrster, paa et Menneskes Barn, hos hvem der ingen Frelse er.
[You people], do not trust in your leaders; do not trust humans because they cannot save/rescue you [from your difficulties/problems].
4 Hans Aand udfarer, han vender tilbage til sit Støv; paa den Dag er det forbi med hans stolte Anslag.
And when they die, their corpses [decay and] become soil again. After they die, they can no longer do the things that they planned to do.
5 Salig er den, hvis Hjælp Jakobs Gud er, hvis Haab er til Herren hans Gud;
But those whose helper is the God whom Jacob [worshiped] are happy. The one whom they confidently expect [to help them] is Yahweh, their God.
6 som gjorde Himmelen og Jorden, Havet og alt det, som der er i dem, han, som bliver Sandhed tro evindelig;
He is the one who created heaven and the earth and the oceans and all [the creatures] that are in them. He always does what he has promised to do.
7 som skaffer dem Ret, der lide Vold, som giver de hungrige Brød; Herren løser de bundne.
He decides matters fairly for those who are (treated unfairly/oppressed), and he provides food for those who are hungry. He frees those who are in prison.
8 Herren aabner de blindes Øjne; Herren oprejser de nedbøjede; Herren elsker de retfærdige.
Yahweh enables those who are blind to see again. He lifts up those who have fallen down. He loves righteous [people].
9 Herren bevarer de fremmede; han opholder faderløse og Enker, men forvender de ugudeliges Vej.
Yahweh takes care of those from other countries who live in our land, and he helps widows and orphans. But he gets rid of wicked [people].
10 Herren skal regere evindelig, din Gud, o Zion! fra Slægt til Slægt. Halleluja!
Yahweh will [continue to] be our king forever; you people of Israel, your God will rule forever! Praise Yahweh!
