< Salme 135 >

1 Halleluja! Pris Herrens navn, pris det, I HERRENs Tjenere,
Hallelujah! Praise the name of the LORD. Give praise, O servants of the LORD,
2 som står i HERRENs Hus, i vor Guds Huses Forgårde!
who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Pris HERREN, thi god er HERREN, lovsyng hans Navn, thi lifligt er det.
Hallelujah, for the LORD is good; sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.
4 Thi HERREN udvalgte Jakob, Israel til sin Ejendom.
For the LORD has chosen Jacob as His own, Israel as His treasured possession.
5 Ja, jeg ved, at HERREN er stor, vor Herre er større end alle Guder.
For I know that the LORD is great; our Lord is above all gods.
6 HERREN gør alt, hvad han vil, i Himlene og på Jorden, i Have og alle Verdensdyb.
The LORD does all that pleases Him in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all their depths.
7 Han lader Skyer stige op fra Jordens Ende, får Lynene til at give Regn, sender Stormen ud fra sine Forrådskamre;
He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.
8 han, som slog Ægyptens førstefødte, både Mennesker og Kvæg,
He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, of both man and beast.
9 og sendte Tegn og Undere i din Midte, Ægypten, mod Farao og alle hans Folk;
He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
10 han, som fældede store Folk og veg så mægtige Konger,
He struck down many nations and slaughtered mighty kings:
11 Amoriternes konge Sion og Basans Konge Og, og alle Kana'ans Riger
Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan.
12 og gav deres Land i Eje, i Eje til Israel, hans Folk.
He gave their land as an inheritance, as a heritage to His people Israel.
13 HERRE, dit Navn er evigt, din Ihukommelse, HERRE, fra Slægt til Slægt,
Your name, O LORD, endures forever, Your renown, O LORD, through all generations.
14 thi Ret skaffer HERREN sit Folk og ynkes over sine Tjenere.
For the LORD will vindicate His people and will have compassion on His servants.
15 Folkenes Billeder er Sølv og Guld, Værk af Menneskehænder;
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
16 de har Mund, men taler ikke, Øjne, men ser dog ej;
They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;
17 de har Ører, men hører ikke, ej heller er der Ånde i deres Mund.
they have ears, but cannot hear; nor is there breath in their mouths.
18 Som dem skal de, der laved dem, blive enhver, som stoler på dem.
Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.
19 Lov HERREN, Israels Hus, lov HERREN, Arons Hus,
O house of Israel, bless the LORD; O house of Aaron, bless the LORD;
20 lov HERREN, Levis Hus, lov HERREN, I, som frygter HERREN!
O house of Levi, bless the LORD; you who fear the LORD, bless the LORD!
21 Fra Zion være HERREN lovet, han, som bor i Jerusalem!
Blessed be the LORD from Zion— He who dwells in Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
