Salme 146

1 Halleluja! Pris HERREN, min Sjæl!

PRAISE ye the Lord. Praise the Lord, O my soul.

2 Jeg vil prise HERREN hele mit Liv, lovsynge min Gud, saa længe jeg lever.

While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

3 Sæt ikke eders Lid til Fyrster, til et Menneskebarn, der ikke kan hjælpe!

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

4 Hans Aand gaar bort, han bliver til Jord igen, hans Raad er bristet samme Dag.

His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

5 Salig den, hvis Hjælp er Jakobs Gud, hvis Haab staar til HERREN hans Gud,

Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

6 som skabte Himmel og Jord, Havet og alt, hvad de rummer, som evigt bevarer sin Trofasthed

Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:

7 og skaffer de undertrykte Ret, som giver de sultne Brød! HERREN løser de fangne,

Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth the prisoners:

8 HERREN aabner de blindes Øjne, HERREN rejser de bøjede, HERREN elsker de retfærdige,

The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind: the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down: the Lord loveth the righteous:

9 HERREN vogter de fremmede, opholder faderløse og Enker, men gudløses Vej gør han kroget.

The Lord preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

10 HERREN er Konge for evigt, din Gud, o Zion, fra Slægt til Slægt. Halleluja!

The Lord shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the Lord.
