Salme 146

1 Min Sjæl! lov Herren!

Praise Yahweh. Praise Yahweh, my soul.

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

I give praise to Yahweh with all my life; 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.

Do not put your trust in princes or in mankind, 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 a person's life's breath stops, he returns to the ground; on that day his plans end.

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

Blessed is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yahweh his God.

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

Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; he observes trustworthiness forever.

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

He executes justice for the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. Yahweh frees the prisoners;

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

Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind; Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down; Yahweh loves the righteous people.

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

Yahweh protects the foreigners in the land; he lifts up the fatherless and widow, but he opposes the wicked.

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

Yahweh will reign forever, your God, Zion, for all generations. Praise Yahweh.
