< 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, o HERRE, ikke os, men dit Navn, det give du Ære for din Miskundheds og Trofastheds Skyld!
2 Why should the nations say, Where is now their God?
Hvi skal Folkene sige: »Hvor er dog deres Gud?«
3 But our God is in the heavens. He has done whatever he pleased.
Vor Gud, han er i Himlen; alt, hvad han vil, det gør han!
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
Deres Billeder er Sølv og Guld, Værk af Menneskehænder;
5 They have mouths, but they speak not. They have eyes, but they see not.
de har Mund, men taler ikke, Øjne, men ser dog ej;
6 They have ears, but they hear not. They have noses, but they smell not.
de har Ører, men hører ikke, Næse, men lugter dog ej;
7 They have hands, but they handle not. They have feet, but they walk not, nor do they speak through their throat.
de har Hænder, men føler ikke, Fødder, men gaar dog ej, deres Strube frembringer ikke en Lyd.
8 Those who make them shall be like them. Yea, everyone who trusts in them.
Som dem skal de, der lavede dem, blive, enhver, som stoler paa dem!
9 O Israel, trust thou in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
Israel stoler paa HERREN, han er deres Hjælp og Skjold;
10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
Arons Hus stoler paa HERREN, han er deres Hjælp og Skjold;
11 Ye who fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
de, som frygter HERREN, stoler paa ham, han er deres Hjælp og 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 kommer os i Hu, velsigner, velsigner Israels Hus, velsigner Arons Hus,
13 He will bless those who fear Jehovah, both small and great.
velsigner dem, der frygter HERREN, og det baade smaa og store.
14 Jehovah increase you more and more, you and your sons.
HERREN lader eder vokse i Tal, eder og eders Børn;
15 Blessed are ye of Jehovah who made heaven and earth.
velsignet er I af HERREN, Himlens og Jordens Skaber.
16 The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth he has given to the sons of men.
Himlen er HERRENS Himmel, men Jorden gav han til Menneskens Børn.
17 The dead do not praise Jehovah, nor any who go down into silence,
De døde priser ej HERREN, ingen af dem, der steg ned i det tavse.
18 but we will bless Jehovah from this time forth and for evermore. Praise ye Jehovah.
Men vi, vi lover HERREN, fra nu og til evig Tid!
