Psalms 115
1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name let glory be given, because of your mercy and your unchanging faith.
Ikke os, Herre! ikke os, men dit Navn give du Ære for din Miskundhed, for din Sandheds Skyld.
2 Why may the nations say, Where is now their God?
Hvorfor skulle Hedningerne sige: Hvor er nu deres Gud?
3 But our God is in heaven: he has done whatever was pleasing to him.
Men vor Gud er i Himlene, han gør alt, hvad ham behager.
4 Their images are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
Deres Billeder ere Sølv og Guld, Menneskehænders Gerning.
5 They have mouths, but no voice; they have eyes, but they see not;
De have Mund, men kunne ikke tale; de have Øjne, men kunne ikke se.
6 They have ears, but no hearing; they have noses, but no sense of smell;
De have Øren, men kunne ikke høre; de have Næse, men kunne ikke lugte.
7 They have hands without feeling, and feet without power of walking; and no sound comes from their throat.
De have Hænder, men kunne ikke føle; de have Fødder, men kunne ikke gaa; de kunne ikke tale med deres Strube.
8 Those who make them are like them; and so is everyone who puts his faith in them.
Ligesom de ere, saa vorde de, der gøre dem, hver den, som forlader sig paa dem.
9 O Israel, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.
Israel! forlad dig paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
10 O house of Aaron, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.
Arons Hus! forlader eder paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
11 You worshippers of the Lord, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.
I, som frygte Herren, forlader eder paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
12 The Lord has kept us in mind and will give us his blessing; he will send blessings on the house of Israel and on the house of Aaron.
Herren kom os i Hu, han skal velsigne, han skal velsigne Israels Hus, han skal velsigne Arons Hus.
13 He will send blessings on the worshippers of the Lord, on the small and on the great.
Han skal velsigne dem, som frygte Herren, de smaa med de store.
14 May the Lord give you and your children still greater increase.
Herren formere eder, eder og eders Børn!
15 May you have the blessing of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
Velsignede være I for Herren, som har gjort Himmel og Jord.
16 The heavens are the Lord's; but the earth he has given to the children of men.
Himlene ere Herrens Himle, men Jorden gav han Menneskens Børn.
17 The dead do not give praise to the Lord; or those who go down to the underworld.
De døde love ikke Herren, ej heller nogen af dem, som nedfare til det stille.
18 But we will give praise to the Lord now and for ever. Praise be to the Lord.
Men vi, vi ville love Herren fra nu og indtil evig Tid. Halleluja!
