< Salme 115 >

1 Ikke os, o Herre, ikke os, men dit navn, det give du ære for din Miskundheds og Trofastheds Skyld!
Not to us, O YHWH, not to us, But to Your Name give glory, For Your kindness, for Your truth.
2 Hvi skal Folkene sige: "Hvor er dog deres Gud?"
Why do the nations say, “Where, pray, [is] their God?”
3 Vor Gud, han er i Himlen; alt, hvad han vil, det gør han!
And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He has pleased He has done.
4 Deres Billeder er Sølv og Guld, Værk af Menneskehænder;
Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man’s hands,
5 de har Mund, men taler ikke, Øjne, men ser dog ej;
They have a mouth, and they do not speak, They have eyes, and they do not see,
6 de har Ører, men hører ikke, Næse men lugter dog ej;
They have ears, and they do not hear, They have a nose, and they do not smell,
7 de har Hænder, men føler ikke, Fødder, men går dog ej, deres Strube frembringer ikke en Lyd.
Their hands, but they do not handle, Their feet, and they do not walk;
8 Som dem skal de, der lavede dem, blive, enhver, som stoler på dem!
Nor do they mutter through their throat, Their makers are like them, Everyone who is trusting in them.
9 Israel stoler på HERREN, han er deres Hjælp og Skjold;
O Israel, trust in YHWH, “He [is] their help and their shield.”
10 Arons Hus stoler på HERREN, han er deres Hjælp og Skjold;
O house of Aaron, trust in YHWH, “He [is] their help and their shield.”
11 de, som frygter HERREN, stoler på ham, han er deres Hjælp og Skjold.
You fearing YHWH, trust in YHWH, “He [is] their help and their shield.”
12 HERREN kommer os i Hu, velsigner, velsigner Israels Hus, velsigner Arons Hus,
YHWH has remembered us, He blesses, He blesses the house of Israel, He blesses the house of Aaron,
13 velsigner dem, der frygter HERREN, og det både små og store.
He blesses those fearing YHWH, The small with the great.
14 HERREN lader eder vokse i Tal, eder og eders Børn;
YHWH adds to you—to you and to your sons.
15 velsignet er I af HERREN, Himlens og Jordens Skaber.
Blessed [are] you of YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth,
16 Himlen er HERRENs Himmel, men Jorden gav han til Menneskens Børn.
The heavens—the heavens [are] YHWH’s, And He has given the earth to sons of men;
17 De døde priser ej HERREN, ingen af dem, der steg ned i det tavse.
The dead do not praise YAH, Nor any going down to silence.
18 Men vi, vi lover HERREN, fra nu og til evig Tid!
And we, we bless YAH, From now on, and for all time. Praise YAH!
