Psalms 115
1 Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, but to thy name give glory. For thy loving kindness, and for thy truth's sake.
Ikke os, Herre! ikke os, men dit Navn give du Ære for din Miskundhed, for din Sandheds Skyld.
2 Why should the nations say, Where is now their God?
Hvorfor skulle Hedningerne sige: Hvor er nu deres Gud?
3 But our God is in the heavens. He has done whatever he pleased.
Men vor Gud er i Himlene, han gør alt, hvad ham behager.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
Deres Billeder ere Sølv og Guld, Menneskehænders Gerning.
5 They have mouths, but they speak not. They have eyes, but they see not.
De have Mund, men kunne ikke tale; de have Øjne, men kunne ikke se.
6 They have ears, but they hear not. They have noses, but they smell not.
De have Øren, men kunne ikke høre; de have Næse, men kunne ikke lugte.
7 They have hands, but they handle not. They have feet, but they walk not, nor do they speak through their throat.
De have Hænder, men kunne ikke føle; de have Fødder, men kunne ikke gaa; de kunne ikke tale med deres Strube.
8 Those who make them shall be like them. Yea, everyone who trusts in them.
Ligesom de ere, saa vorde de, der gøre dem, hver den, som forlader sig paa dem.
9 O Israel, trust thou in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
Israel! forlad dig paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
Arons Hus! forlader eder paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
11 Ye who fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
I, som frygte Herren, forlader eder paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
12 Jehovah has been mindful of us. He will bless, he will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.
Herren kom os i Hu, han skal velsigne, han skal velsigne Israels Hus, han skal velsigne Arons Hus.
13 He will bless those who fear Jehovah, both small and great.
Han skal velsigne dem, som frygte Herren, de smaa med de store.
14 Jehovah increase you more and more, you and your sons.
Herren formere eder, eder og eders Børn!
15 Blessed are ye of Jehovah who made heaven and earth.
Velsignede være I for Herren, som har gjort Himmel og Jord.
16 The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth he has given to the sons of men.
Himlene ere Herrens Himle, men Jorden gav han Menneskens Børn.
17 The dead do not praise Jehovah, nor any who go down into silence,
De døde love ikke Herren, ej heller nogen af dem, som nedfare til det stille.
18 but we will bless Jehovah from this time forth and for evermore. Praise ye Jehovah.
Men vi, vi ville love Herren fra nu og indtil evig Tid. Halleluja!
