Salme 146

1 Halleluja! Pris HERREN, min Sjæl!

Praise all of you 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 goes forth, he returns 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 has 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 keeps truth for ever:

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

Which executes judgment for the oppressed: which gives food to the hungry. The LORD looses the prisoners:

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

The LORD opens the eyes of the blind: the LORD raises them that are bowed down: the LORD loves the righteous:

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

The LORD perserves the strangers; he relieves the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.

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

The LORD shall reign for ever, even your God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise all of you the LORD.
