Psalms 135
1 Praise ye Jehovah. Praise ye the name of Jehovah. Praise, O ye servants of Jehovah,
Halleluja! Pris HERRENS Navn, pris det, I HERRENS Tjenere,
2 ye who stand in the house of Jehovah, in the courts of the house of our God.
som staar i HERRENS Hus, i vor Guds Huses Forgaarde!
3 Praise ye Jehovah, for Jehovah is good. Sing praises to his name, for it is pleasant.
Pris HERREN, thi god er HERREN, lovsyng hans Navn, thi lifligt er det.
4 For Jehovah has chosen Jacob to himself, Israel for his own possession.
Thi HERREN udvalgte Jakob, Israel til sin Ejendom.
5 For I know that Jehovah is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
Ja, jeg ved, at HERREN er stor, vor Herre er større end alle Guder.
6 Whatever Jehovah pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps,
HERREN gør alt, hvad han vil, i Himlene og paa Jorden, i Have og alle Verdensdyb.
7 who causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth, who makes lightnings for the rain, who brings forth the wind out of his treasuries,
Han lader Skyer stige op fra Jordens Ende, faar Lynene til at give Regn, sender Stormen ud fra sine Forraadskamre;
8 who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast,
han, som slog Ægyptens førstefødte, baade Mennesker og Kvæg,
9 who sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants,
og sendte Tegn og Undere i din Midte, Ægypten, mod Farao og alle hans Folk;
10 who smote many nations, and killed mighty kings-
han, som fældede store Folk og vog saa mægtige Konger,
11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan-
Amoriternes Konge Sihon og Basans Konge Og og alle Kana'ans Riger
12 and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel his people.
og gav deres Land i Eje, i Eje til Israel, hans Folk.
13 Thy name, O Jehovah, is forever, thy memorial, O Jehovah, throughout all generations.
HERRE, dit Navn er evigt, din Ihukommelse, HERRE, fra Slægt til Slægt,
14 For Jehovah will judge his people, and will relent concerning his servants.
thi Ret skaffer HERREN sit Folk og ynkes over sine Tjenere.
15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
Folkenes Billeder er Sølv og Guld, Værk af Menneskehænder;
16 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;
17 They have ears, but they hear not, nor is there any breath in their mouths.
de har Ører, men hører ikke, ej heller er der Aande i deres Mund.
18 Those who make them shall be like them, yea, everyone who trusts in them.
Som dem skal de, der laved dem, blive enhver, som stoler paa dem.
19 O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah. O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah.
Lov HERREN, Israels Hus, lov HERREN, Arons Hus,
20 O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah. Ye who fear Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.
lov HERREN, Levis Hus, lov HERREN, I, som frygter HERREN!
21 Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, who dwells at Jerusalem. Praise ye Jehovah.
Fra Zion være HERREN lovet, han, som bor i Jerusalem!
