Salme 146

1 Halleluja! Pris HERREN, min Sjæl!

Praise Yahweh. Praise Yahweh, my soul.

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

I give praise to Yahweh with all my life; I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

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

Do not put your trust in princes or in mankind, in whom there is no salvation.

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

When a person's life's breath stops, he returns to the ground; on that day his plans end.

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

Blessed is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yahweh his God.

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

Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; he observes trustworthiness forever.

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

He executes justice for the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. Yahweh frees the prisoners;

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

Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind; Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down; Yahweh loves the righteous people.

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

Yahweh protects the foreigners in the land; he lifts up the fatherless and widow, but he opposes the wicked.

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

Yahweh will reign forever, your God, Zion, for all generations. Praise Yahweh.
