Psalms 146

1 Praise ye Jehovah. Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

Min Sjæl! lov Herren!

2 While I live I will praise Jehovah. I will sing praises to my God while I have any being.

Jeg vil love Herren, medens jeg lever, jeg vil synge min Gud Psalmer, medens jeg er til.

3 Put not your trust in rulers, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

Forlader eder ikke paa Fyrster, paa et Menneskes Barn, hos hvem der ingen Frelse er.

4 His breath goes forth, he returns to his earth. In that very day his thoughts perish.

Hans Aand udfarer, han vender tilbage til sit Støv; paa den Dag er det forbi med hans stolte Anslag.

5 Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah his God,

Salig er den, hvis Hjælp Jakobs Gud er, hvis Haab er til Herren hans Gud;

6 who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who keeps truth forever,

som gjorde Himmelen og Jorden, Havet og alt det, som der er i dem, han, som bliver Sandhed tro evindelig;

7 who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. Jehovah releases the prisoners.

som skaffer dem Ret, der lide Vold, som giver de hungrige Brød; Herren løser de bundne.

8 Jehovah opens the eyes of the blind. Jehovah raises up those who are bowed down. Jehovah loves the righteous.

Herren aabner de blindes Øjne; Herren oprejser de nedbøjede; Herren elsker de retfærdige.

9 Jehovah preserves the sojourners. He upholds the fatherless and widow. But the way of the wicked he turns upside down.

Herren bevarer de fremmede; han opholder faderløse og Enker, men forvender de ugudeliges Vej.

10 Jehovah will reign forever, thy God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise ye Jehovah.

Herren skal regere evindelig, din Gud, o Zion! fra Slægt til Slægt. Halleluja!
