Salme 146

1 Halleluja! Pris HERREN, min Sjæl!

Praise ye the LORD! Praise the LORD, O my soul!

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

I will praise the LORD, as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God, while I have my being.

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

Put not your trust in princes, In the son of man, in whom is no help!

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

His breath goeth forth; he returneth to the dust; In that very day his plans perish.

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

Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help; 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 that is therein; Who keepeth truth for ever;

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

Who executeth judgment for the oppressed; Who giveth food to the hungry. The LORD setteth free the prisoners;

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

The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind; The LORD raiseth up them that are bowed down; The LORD loveth the righteous.

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

The LORD preserveth the strangers; He relieveth the fatherless and the widow; But the way of the wicked he maketh crooked.

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

The LORD shall reign for ever; Thy God, O Zion! to all generations! Praise ye the LORD!
