< Salme 115 >

1 Ikke os, o HERRE, ikke os, men dit Navn, det give du Ære for din Miskundheds og Trofastheds Skyld!
Not to us, Jehovah, not to us, but to your name be the glory, for your loving kindness and for your faithfulness.
2 Hvi skal Folkene sige: »Hvor er dog deres Gud?«
Why should the nations say, "Where is their God, now?"
3 Vor Gud, han er i Himlen; alt, hvad han vil, det gør han!
But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.
4 Deres Billeder er Sølv og Guld, Værk af Menneskehænder;
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
5 de har Mund, men taler ikke, Øjne, men ser dog ej;
They have mouths, but they do not speak. They have eyes, but they do not see.
6 de har Ører, men hører ikke, Næse, men lugter dog ej;
They have ears, but they do not hear. They have noses, but they do not smell.
7 de har Hænder, men føler ikke, Fødder, men gaar dog ej, deres Strube frembringer ikke en Lyd.
They have hands, but they do not feel. They have feet, but they do not walk, neither do they speak through their throat.
8 Som dem skal de, der lavede dem, blive, enhver, som stoler paa dem!
Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
9 Israel stoler paa HERREN, han er deres Hjælp og Skjold;
Israel, trust in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
10 Arons Hus stoler paa HERREN, han er deres Hjælp og Skjold;
House of Aaron, trust in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
11 de, som frygter HERREN, stoler paa ham, han er deres Hjælp og Skjold.
You who fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
12 HERREN kommer os i Hu, velsigner, velsigner Israels Hus, velsigner Arons Hus,
Jehovah remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.
13 velsigner dem, der frygter HERREN, og det baade smaa og store.
He will bless those who fear Jehovah, both small and great.
14 HERREN lader eder vokse i Tal, eder og eders Børn;
May Jehovah increase you more and more, you and your children.
15 velsignet er I af HERREN, Himlens og Jordens Skaber.
Blessed are you by Jehovah, who made heaven and earth.
16 Himlen er HERRENS Himmel, men Jorden gav han til Menneskens Børn.
The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah; but the earth has he given to the descendants of Adam.
17 De døde priser ej HERREN, ingen af dem, der steg ned i det tavse.
The dead do not praise JAH, neither any who go down into silence;
18 Men vi, vi lover HERREN, fra nu og til evig Tid!
But we will bless JAH, from this time forth and forevermore. Praise JAH.
