Salme 135
1 Halleluja! Pris HERRENS Navn, pris det, I HERRENS Tjenere,
Praise YAH! Praise the Name of YHWH, Praise, you servants of YHWH,
2 som staar i HERRENS Hus, i vor Guds Huses Forgaarde!
Who are standing in the house of YHWH, In the courts of the house of our God.
3 Pris HERREN, thi god er HERREN, lovsyng hans Navn, thi lifligt er det.
Praise YAH! For YHWH [is] good, Sing praise to His Name, for [it is] pleasant.
4 Thi HERREN udvalgte Jakob, Israel til sin Ejendom.
For YAH has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His peculiar treasure.
5 Ja, jeg ved, at HERREN er stor, vor Herre er større end alle Guder.
For I have known that YHWH [is] great, Indeed, our Lord [is] above all gods.
6 HERREN gør alt, hvad han vil, i Himlene og paa Jorden, i Have og alle Verdensdyb.
All that YHWH pleased He has done, In the heavens and in earth, In the seas and all deep places,
7 Han lader Skyer stige op fra Jordens Ende, faar Lynene til at give Regn, sender Stormen ud fra sine Forraadskamre;
Causing vapors to ascend from the end of the earth, He has made lightnings for the rain, Bringing forth wind from His treasures.
8 han, som slog Ægyptens førstefødte, baade Mennesker og Kvæg,
Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, From man to beast.
9 og sendte Tegn og Undere i din Midte, Ægypten, mod Farao og alle hans Folk;
He sent tokens and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, On Pharaoh and on all his servants.
10 han, som fældede store Folk og vog saa mægtige Konger,
Who struck many nations, and slew strong kings,
11 Amoriternes Konge Sihon og Basans Konge Og og alle Kana'ans Riger
Even Sihon king of the Amorite, And Og king of Bashan, And all kingdoms of Canaan.
12 og gav deres Land i Eje, i Eje til Israel, hans Folk.
And He gave their land an inheritance, An inheritance to His people Israel,
13 HERRE, dit Navn er evigt, din Ihukommelse, HERRE, fra Slægt til Slægt,
O YHWH, Your Name [is] for all time, O YHWH, Your memorial from generation to generation.
14 thi Ret skaffer HERREN sit Folk og ynkes over sine Tjenere.
For YHWH judges His people, And comforts Himself for His servants.
15 Folkenes Billeder er Sølv og Guld, Værk af Menneskehænder;
The idols of the nations [are] silver and gold, Work of the hands of man.
16 de har Mund, men taler ikke, Øjne, men ser dog ej;
They have a mouth, and they do not speak, They have eyes, and they do not see,
17 de har Ører, men hører ikke, ej heller er der Aande i deres Mund.
They have ears, and they do not give ear, Nose—there is no breath in their mouth!
18 Som dem skal de, der laved dem, blive enhver, som stoler paa dem.
Their makers are like them, Everyone who is trusting in them.
19 Lov HERREN, Israels Hus, lov HERREN, Arons Hus,
O house of Israel, bless YHWH, O house of Aaron, bless YHWH,
20 lov HERREN, Levis Hus, lov HERREN, I, som frygter HERREN!
O house of Levi, bless YHWH, Those fearing YHWH, bless YHWH.
21 Fra Zion være HERREN lovet, han, som bor i Jerusalem!
Blessed [is] YHWH from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem—praise YAH!
