< Salme 135 >

1 Halleluja! Pris HERRENS Navn, pris det, I HERRENS Tjenere,
Praise ye the LORD! Praise ye the name of the LORD! Praise him, O ye servants of the LORD!
2 som staar i HERRENS Hus, i vor Guds Huses Forgaarde!
Ye who stand in the house of the LORD, 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 the LORD, for the LORD is good; Praise his name, for he is kind!
4 Thi HERREN udvalgte Jakob, Israel til sin Ejendom.
For the LORD chose Jacob for himself, And Israel for his own possession.
5 Ja, jeg ved, at HERREN er stor, vor Herre er større end alle Guder.
I know that the LORD is great; That 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 the LORD pleaseth, that he doeth, In heaven and upon earth, In the sea, and in all deeps.
7 Han lader Skyer stige op fra Jordens Ende, faar Lynene til at give Regn, sender Stormen ud fra sine Forraadskamre;
He causeth the clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; He maketh lightnings for the rain; He bringeth the wind from his store-houses.
8 han, som slog Ægyptens førstefødte, baade Mennesker og Kvæg,
He smote the first-born of Egypt, Both of man and beast.
9 og sendte Tegn og Undere i din Midte, Ægypten, mod Farao og alle hans Folk;
He sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt! Against Pharaoh and all his servants!
10 han, som fældede store Folk og vog saa mægtige Konger,
He smote many nations, And slew mighty kings;
11 Amoriternes Konge Sihon og Basans Konge Og og alle Kana'ans Riger
Sihon, the king of the Amorites, And Og, the king of Bashan, And all the kings of Canaan;
12 og gav deres Land i Eje, i Eje til Israel, hans Folk.
And gave their land for an inheritance, For an inheritance to Israel, his people.
13 HERRE, dit Navn er evigt, din Ihukommelse, HERRE, fra Slægt til Slægt,
Thy name, O LORD! endureth for ever; Thy memorial, O LORD! to all generations!
14 thi Ret skaffer HERREN sit Folk og ynkes over sine Tjenere.
For the LORD judgeth his people, And hath compassion on 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 mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not.
17 de har Ører, men hører ikke, ej heller er der Aande i deres Mund.
They have ears, but they hear not; And there is no breath in their mouths.
18 Som dem skal de, der laved dem, blive enhver, som stoler paa dem.
They that make them are like them; So is every one that trusteth in them.
19 Lov HERREN, Israels Hus, lov HERREN, Arons Hus,
Praise the LORD, O house of Israel! Praise the LORD, O house of Aaron!
20 lov HERREN, Levis Hus, lov HERREN, I, som frygter HERREN!
Praise the LORD, O house of Levi! Ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD!
21 Fra Zion være HERREN lovet, han, som bor i Jerusalem!
Praised be the LORD out of Zion, He that dwelleth in Jerusalem! Praise ye the LORD!
