Salme 146

1 Min Sjæl! lov Herren!

Praise ye Jah! Praise, O my soul, Jehovah.

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

I praise Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.

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

Trust not in princes — in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance.

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

His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.

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

O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope [is] on Jehovah his God,

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

Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that [is] in them, Who is keeping truth to the age,

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

Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry.

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

Jehovah is loosing the prisoners, Jehovah is opening (the eyes of) the blind, Jehovah is raising the bowed down, Jehovah is loving the righteous,

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

Jehovah is preserving the strangers, The fatherless and widow He causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked He turneth upside down.

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

Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise ye Jah!
