< 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, O Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth.
2 Hvi skal Folkene sige: »Hvor er dog deres Gud?«
Why do the nations say, 'Where, pray, [is] their God.
3 Vor Gud, han er i Himlen; alt, hvad han vil, det gør han!
And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done.
4 Deres Billeder er Sølv og Guld, Værk af Menneskehænder;
Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man's hands,
5 de har Mund, men taler ikke, Øjne, men ser dog ej;
A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,
6 de har Ører, men hører ikke, Næse, men lugter dog ej;
Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and they smell not,
7 de har Hænder, men føler ikke, Fødder, men gaar dog ej, deres Strube frembringer ikke en Lyd.
Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not;
8 Som dem skal de, der lavede dem, blive, enhver, som stoler paa dem!
Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.
9 Israel stoler paa HERREN, han er deres Hjælp og Skjold;
O Israel, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'
10 Arons Hus stoler paa HERREN, han er deres Hjælp og Skjold;
O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'
11 de, som frygter HERREN, stoler paa ham, han er deres Hjælp og Skjold.
Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'
12 HERREN kommer os i Hu, velsigner, velsigner Israels Hus, velsigner Arons Hus,
Jehovah hath remembered us, He blesseth, He blesseth the house of Israel, He blesseth the house of Aaron,
13 velsigner dem, der frygter HERREN, og det baade smaa og store.
He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great.
14 HERREN lader eder vokse i Tal, eder og eders Børn;
Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons.
15 velsignet er I af HERREN, Himlens og Jordens Skaber.
Blessed [are] ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,
16 Himlen er HERRENS Himmel, men Jorden gav han til Menneskens Børn.
The heavens — the heavens [are] Jehovah's, And the earth He hath given to sons of men,
17 De døde priser ej HERREN, ingen af dem, der steg ned i det tavse.
The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence.
18 Men vi, vi lover HERREN, fra nu og til evig Tid!
And we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah!
