< Salme 115 >

1 Ikke os, o Herre, ikke os, men dit navn, det give du ære for din Miskundheds og Trofastheds Skyld!
Not vnto vs, O Lord, not vnto vs, but vnto thy Name giue the glorie, for thy louing mercie and for thy truethes sake.
2 Hvi skal Folkene sige: "Hvor er dog deres Gud?"
Wherefore shall the heathen say, Where is nowe their God?
3 Vor Gud, han er i Himlen; alt, hvad han vil, det gør han!
But our God is in heauen: he doeth what so euer he will.
4 Deres Billeder er Sølv og Guld, Værk af Menneskehænder;
Their idoles are siluer and golde, euen the worke of mens hands.
5 de har Mund, men taler ikke, Øjne, men ser dog ej;
They haue a mouth and speake not: they haue eyes and see not.
6 de har Ører, men hører ikke, Næse men lugter dog ej;
They haue eares and heare not: they haue noses and smelll not.
7 de har Hænder, men føler ikke, Fødder, men går dog ej, deres Strube frembringer ikke en Lyd.
They haue handes and touche not: they haue feete and walke not: neither make they a sound with their throte.
8 Som dem skal de, der lavede dem, blive, enhver, som stoler på dem!
They that make them are like vnto them: so are all that trust in them.
9 Israel stoler på HERREN, han er deres Hjælp og Skjold;
O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.
10 Arons Hus stoler på HERREN, han er deres Hjælp og Skjold;
O house of Aaron, trust ye in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.
11 de, som frygter HERREN, stoler på ham, han er deres Hjælp og Skjold.
Ye that feare the Lord, trust in the Lord: for he is their helper and their shield.
12 HERREN kommer os i Hu, velsigner, velsigner Israels Hus, velsigner Arons Hus,
The Lord hath bene mindfull of vs: he will blesse, he will blesse the house of Israel, he will blesse the house of Aaron.
13 velsigner dem, der frygter HERREN, og det både små og store.
He will blesse them that feare the Lord, both small and great.
14 HERREN lader eder vokse i Tal, eder og eders Børn;
The Lord will increase his graces towarde you, euen toward you and toward your children.
15 velsignet er I af HERREN, Himlens og Jordens Skaber.
Ye are blessed of the Lord, which made the heauen and the earth.
16 Himlen er HERRENs Himmel, men Jorden gav han til Menneskens Børn.
The heauens, euen the heauens are the Lordes: but he hath giuen the earth to the sonnes of men.
17 De døde priser ej HERREN, ingen af dem, der steg ned i det tavse.
The dead prayse not the Lord, neither any that goe downe into the place of silence.
18 Men vi, vi lover HERREN, fra nu og til evig Tid!
But we will prayse the Lord from henceforth and for euer. Prayse ye the Lord.
