Salme 146

1 Min Sjæl! lov Herren!

Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, my soul.

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

While I live, I will praise the LORD. 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.

Don’t put your trust in princes, in a son of man in whom there is no help.

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

His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.

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

Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in 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 made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever;

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

who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners.

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

The LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD raises up those who are bowed down. The LORD loves the righteous.

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

The LORD preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but he turns the way of the wicked upside down.

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

The LORD will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD!
