< Psalms 115 >

1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to thy name give glory, because of thy mercy and thy truth;
Ikke os, o Herre, ikke os, men dit navn, det give du ære for din Miskundheds og Trofastheds Skyld!
2 lest at any time the nations should say, Where is their God?
Hvi skal Folkene sige: "Hvor er dog deres Gud?"
3 But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatsoever he has pleased.
Vor Gud, han er i Himlen; alt, hvad han vil, det gør han!
4 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.
Deres Billeder er Sølv og Guld, Værk af Menneskehænder;
5 They have a mouth, but they cannot speak; they have eyes, but they cannot see:
de har Mund, men taler ikke, Øjne, men ser dog ej;
6 they have ears, but they cannot hear; they have noses, but they cannot smell;
de har Ører, men hører ikke, Næse men lugter dog ej;
7 they have hands, but they cannot handle; they have feet, but they cannot walk: they cannot speak through their throat.
de har Hænder, men føler ikke, Fødder, men går dog ej, deres Strube frembringer ikke en Lyd.
8 Let those that make them become like to them, and all who trust in them.
Som dem skal de, der lavede dem, blive, enhver, som stoler på dem!
9 The house of Israel trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
Israel stoler på HERREN, han er deres Hjælp og Skjold;
10 The house of Aaron trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
Arons Hus stoler på HERREN, han er deres Hjælp og Skjold;
11 They that fear the Lord trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
de, som frygter HERREN, stoler på ham, han er deres Hjælp og Skjold.
12 The Lord has remembered us, and blessed us: he has blessed the house of Israel, he has blessed the house of Aaron.
HERREN kommer os i Hu, velsigner, velsigner Israels Hus, velsigner Arons Hus,
13 He has blessed them that fear the Lord, both small and great.
velsigner dem, der frygter HERREN, og det både små og store.
14 The Lord add [blessings] to you and to your children.
HERREN lader eder vokse i Tal, eder og eders Børn;
15 Blessed are ye of the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.
velsignet er I af HERREN, Himlens og Jordens Skaber.
16 The heaven of heavens [belongs] to the Lord: but he has given the earth to the sons of men.
Himlen er HERRENs Himmel, men Jorden gav han til Menneskens Børn.
17 The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord, nor any that go down to Hades.
De døde priser ej HERREN, ingen af dem, der steg ned i det tavse.
18 But we, the living, will bless the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
Men vi, vi lover HERREN, fra nu og til evig Tid!
