Psalms 147
1 Hallelujah! How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and lovely to praise Him!
Halleluja! Ja, det er godt at lovsynge vor Gud, ja, det er lifligt, lovsang sømmer sig.
2 The LORD builds up Jerusalem; He gathers the exiles of Israel.
Herren bygger Jerusalem, han samler de spredte af Israel,
3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
han læger dem, hvis Hjerte er sønderknust, og forbinder deres Sår;
4 He determines the number of the stars; He calls them each by name.
han fastsætter Stjemernes Tal og giver dem alle Navn.
5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding has no limit.
Vor Herre er stor og vældig, hans Indsigt er uden Mål;
6 The LORD sustains the humble, but casts the wicked to the ground.
HERREN holder de ydmyge oppe, til Jorden bøjer han gudløse.
7 Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make music on the harp to our God,
Syng for HERREN med Tak, leg for vor Gud på Citer!
8 who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow on the hills.
Han dækker Himlen med Skyer, sørger for Regn til Jorden, lader Græs spire frem på Bjergene og Urter til Menneskers Brug;
9 He provides food for the animals, and for the young ravens when they call.
Føde giver han Kvæget og Ravneunger, som skriger;
10 He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He takes no pleasure in the legpower of the man.
hans Hu står ikke til stærke Heste, han har ikke Behag i rapfodet Mand;
11 The LORD is pleased with those who fear Him, who hope in His loving devotion.
HERREN har Behag i dem, der frygter ham, dem, der bier på hans Miskundhed.
12 Exalt the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion!
Lovpris HERREN, Jerusalem, pris, o Zion, din Gud!
13 For He strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses the children within you.
Thi han gør dine Portstænger stærke, velsigner dine Børn i din Midte;
14 He makes peace at your borders; He fills you with the finest wheat.
dine Landemærker giver han Fred, mætter dig med Hvedens Fedme;
15 He sends forth His command to the earth; His word runs swiftly.
han sender sit Bud til Jorden, hastigt løber hans Ord,
16 He spreads the snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes;
han lader Sne falde ned som Uld, som Aske spreder han Rim,
17 He casts forth His hail like pebbles. Who can withstand His icy blast?
som Brødsmuler sender han Hagl, Vandene stivner af Kulde fra ham;
18 He sends forth His word and melts them; He unleashes His winds, and the waters flow.
han sender sit Ord og smelter dem, de strømmer, når han rejser sit Vejr.
19 He declares His word to Jacob, His statutes and judgments to Israel.
Han kundgør sit Ord for Jakob, sine Vedtægter og Lovbud for Israel.
20 He has done this for no other nation; they do not know His judgments. Hallelujah!
Så gjorde han ikke mod andre Folk, dem kundgør han ingen Lovbud. Halleluja!
