Salme 135
1 Halleluja! Pris HERRENS Navn, pris det, I HERRENS Tjenere,
Hallelujah! Praise the name of Jehovah; praise, ye servants of Jehovah,
2 som staar i HERRENS Hus, i vor Guds Huses Forgaarde!
Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Pris HERREN, thi god er HERREN, lovsyng hans Navn, thi lifligt er det.
Praise ye Jah; for Jehovah is good: sing psalms unto his name; for it is pleasant.
4 Thi HERREN udvalgte Jakob, Israel til sin Ejendom.
For Jah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, Israel for his own possession.
5 Ja, jeg ved, at HERREN er stor, vor Herre er større end alle Guder.
For I know that Jehovah is great, and our Lord is above all gods.
6 HERREN gør alt, hvad han vil, i Himlene og paa Jorden, i Have og alle Verdensdyb.
Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, he hath done in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps;
7 Han lader Skyer stige op fra Jordens Ende, faar Lynene til at give Regn, sender Stormen ud fra sine Forraadskamre;
Who causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; who maketh lightnings for the rain; who bringeth the wind out of his treasuries:
8 han, som slog Ægyptens førstefødte, baade Mennesker og Kvæg,
Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast;
9 og sendte Tegn og Undere i din Midte, Ægypten, mod Farao og alle hans Folk;
Who sent signs and miracles into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants;
10 han, som fældede store Folk og vog saa mægtige Konger,
Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings,
11 Amoriternes Konge Sihon og Basans Konge Og og alle Kana'ans Riger
Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;
12 og gav deres Land i Eje, i Eje til Israel, hans Folk.
And gave their land for an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people.
13 HERRE, dit Navn er evigt, din Ihukommelse, HERRE, fra Slægt til Slægt,
Thy name, O Jehovah, is for ever; thy memorial, O Jehovah, from generation to generation.
14 thi Ret skaffer HERREN sit Folk og ynkes over sine Tjenere.
For Jehovah will judge his people, and will repent in favour of his servants.
15 Folkenes Billeder er Sølv og Guld, Værk af Menneskehænder;
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:
16 de har Mund, men taler ikke, Øjne, men ser dog ej;
They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;
17 de har Ører, men hører ikke, ej heller er der Aande i deres Mund.
They have ears, and they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth.
18 Som dem skal de, der laved dem, blive enhver, som stoler paa dem.
They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them.
19 Lov HERREN, Israels Hus, lov HERREN, Arons Hus,
House of Israel, bless ye Jehovah; house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah;
20 lov HERREN, Levis Hus, lov HERREN, I, som frygter HERREN!
House of Levi, bless ye Jehovah; ye that fear Jehovah, bless Jehovah.
21 Fra Zion være HERREN lovet, han, som bor i Jerusalem!
Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem! Hallelujah!
