Psalms 146

1 Alleluia. Of Haggai and Zachariah.

Halleluja! Pris HERREN, min Sjæl!

2 Praise the Lord, O my soul. I will praise the Lord with my life. I will sing psalms to my God as long as I shall be. Do not trust in the leaders,

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

3 in the sons of men, in whom there is no salvation.

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

4 His spirit will depart, and he will return to his earth. In that day, all their thoughts will perish.

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

5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob: his hope is in the Lord God himself,

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

6 who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all the things that are in them.

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

7 He preserves the truth forever. He executes judgment for those who suffer injury. He provides food for the hungry. The Lord releases those who are bound.

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

8 The Lord enlightens the blind. The Lord sets upright those who have been thrown down. The Lord loves the just.

HERREN aabner de blindes Øjne, HERREN rejser de bøjede, HERREN elsker de retfærdige,

9 The Lord watches over new arrivals. He will support the orphan and the widow. And he will destroy the ways of sinners.

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

10 The Lord shall reign forever: your God, O Zion, from generation to generation.

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