Salme 146

1 Halleluja! Pris HERREN, min Sjæl!

Praise ye the Lord. Praise thou the Lord, O my soule.

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

I will prayse the Lord during my life: as long as I haue any being, I wil sing vnto my God.

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

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the sonne of man, for there is none helpe in him.

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

His breath departeth, and he returneth to his earth: then his thoughtes perish.

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

Blessed is he, that hath the God of Iaakob for his helpe, 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

Which made heauen and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth his fidelitie for euer:

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

Which executeth iustice for the oppressed: which giueth bread to the hungry: the Lord loseth the prisoners.

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

The Lord giueth sight to the blinde: the Lord rayseth vp the crooked: the Lord loueth the righteous.

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

The Lord keepeth the strangers: he relieueth the fatherlesse and widowe: but he ouerthroweth the way of the wicked.

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

The Lord shall reigne for euer: O Zion, thy God endureth from generation to generation. Prayse ye the Lord.
