Psalms 135
1 Hallelujah! Praise the name of the LORD. Give praise, O servants of the LORD,
Lover Herrens Navn, lover, I Herrens Tjenere!
2 who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.
I, som staa i Herrens Hus, i vor Guds Hus's Forgaarde.
3 Hallelujah, for the LORD is good; sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.
Lover Herren; thi Herren er god; lovsynger hans Navn; thi det er lifligt.
4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob as His own, Israel as His treasured possession.
Thi Herren har udvalgt sig Jakob, Israel til sin Ejendom.
5 For I know that the LORD is great; our Lord is above all gods.
Thi jeg ved, at Herren er stor, og at vor Herre er større end alle Guder.
6 The LORD does all that pleases Him in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all their depths.
Herren gør alt, hvad ham behager, i Himmelen og paa Jorden, i Havene og i alle Afgrunde.
7 He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.
Han gør, at Dampe opstige fra Jordens Grænse; han gør Lynene til Regn, han udfører Vejret af sine Forraadskamre.
8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, of both man and beast.
Han, som slog de førstefødte i Ægypten, baade Mennesker og Dyr;
9 He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
han sendte Tegn og underlige Ting i din Midte, Ægypten! paa Farao og paa alle hans Tjenere;
10 He struck down many nations and slaughtered mighty kings:
han, som slog mange Folk og ihjelslog stærke Konger:
11 Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan.
Amoriternes Konge Sihon og Basans Konge Og samt alle Riger i Kanaan;
12 He gave their land as an inheritance, as a heritage to His people Israel.
og han gav deres Land til Arv, til Arv for sit Folk Israel.
13 Your name, O LORD, endures forever, Your renown, O LORD, through all generations.
Herre! dit Navn bliver evindelig; Herre! din Ihukommelse bliver fra Slægt til Slægt.
14 For the LORD will vindicate His people and will have compassion on His servants.
Thi Herren skal dømme sit Folk, og det skal angre ham for hans Tjeneres Skyld.
15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
Hedningernes Afguder ere Sølv og Guld, et Menneskes Hænders Gerning.
16 They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;
De have Mund, men tale ikke; de have Øjne, men se ikke.
17 they have ears, but cannot hear; nor is there breath in their mouths.
De have Øren, men høre ikke, og der er ingen Aande i deres Mund.
18 Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.
Ligesom disse ere, saa blive de, som gøre dem, ja, hver den, som forlader sig paa dem.
19 O house of Israel, bless the LORD; O house of Aaron, bless the LORD;
Israels Hus! lover Herren; Arons Hus! lover Herren.
20 O house of Levi, bless the LORD; you who fear the LORD, bless the LORD!
Levis Hus! lover Herren; I, som frygte Herren! lover Herren.
21 Blessed be the LORD from Zion— He who dwells in Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
Lovet være Herren fra Zion, han, som bor i Jerusalem! Halleluja!
