Salme 135
1 Halleluja! Pris HERRENS Navn, pris det, I HERRENS Tjenere,
Praise ye Jah! Praise ye the name of Jehovah, Praise, ye servants of Jehovah,
2 som staar i HERRENS Hus, i vor Guds Huses Forgaarde!
Who are standing 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 praise to His name, for [it is] pleasant.
4 Thi HERREN udvalgte Jakob, Israel til sin Ejendom.
For Jacob hath Jah chosen 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 great [is] Jehovah, Yea, 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 Jehovah pleased He hath 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 vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, Lightnings for the rain He hath made, Bringing forth wind from His treasures.
8 han, som slog Ægyptens førstefødte, baade Mennesker og Kvæg,
Who smote the first-born of Egypt, From man unto beast.
9 og sendte Tegn og Undere i din Midte, Ægypten, mod Farao og alle hans Folk;
He sent tokens and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, On Pharaoh and on all his servants.
10 han, som fældede store Folk og vog saa mægtige Konger,
Who smote 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 Israel His people,
13 HERRE, dit Navn er evigt, din Ihukommelse, HERRE, fra Slægt til Slægt,
O Jehovah, Thy name [is] to the age, O Jehovah, Thy memorial to all generations.
14 thi Ret skaffer HERREN sit Folk og ynkes over sine Tjenere.
For Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants comforteth Himself.
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;
A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,
17 de har Ører, men hører ikke, ej heller er der Aande i deres Mund.
Ears they have, and they give not ear, Nose — there is no breath in their mouth!
18 Som dem skal de, der laved dem, blive enhver, som stoler paa dem.
Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.
19 Lov HERREN, Israels Hus, lov HERREN, Arons Hus,
O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah, O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah,
20 lov HERREN, Levis Hus, lov HERREN, I, som frygter HERREN!
O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah, Those fearing Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.
21 Fra Zion være HERREN lovet, han, som bor i Jerusalem!
Blessed [is] Jehovah from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem — praise ye Jah!
