Salme 146

1 Halleluja! Pris HERREN, min Sjæl!

Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.

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

Praise the Lord, O my soul, in my life I will praise the Lord: I will sing to my God as long as I shall be. Put not your trust in princes:

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

In the children of men, in whom there is no salvation.

4 Hans Ånd går bort, han bliver til Jord igen, hans Råd er bristet samme Dag.

His spirit shall go forth, and he shall return into his earth: in that day all their thoughts shall perish.

5 Salig den, hvis Hjælp er Jakobs Gud, hvis Håb står til HERREN hans Gud,

Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his helper, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

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

Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in them.

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

Who keepeth truth for ever: who executeth judgment for them that suffer wrong: who giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth them that are fettered:

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

The Lord enlighteneth the blind. The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down: the Lord loveth the just.

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

The Lord keepeth the strangers, he will support the fatherless and the widow: and the ways of sinners he will destroy.

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

The Lord shall reign for ever: thy God, O Sion, unto generation and generation.
