Psalms 146

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

Halleluja! Pris HERREN, min Sjæl!

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

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

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

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

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

Hans Aand gaar bort, han bliver til Jord igen, hans Raad er bristet samme Dag.

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

Salig den, hvis Hjælp er Jakobs Gud, hvis Haab staar til HERREN hans Gud,

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

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

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

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

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 rejser de bøjede, 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 vogter de fremmede, opholder faderløse og Enker, men gudløses Vej gør han kroget.

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

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