< Psalms 115 >

1 Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth's sake.
Ikke os, o HERRE, ikke os, men dit Navn, det give du Ære for din Miskundheds og Trofastheds Skyld!
2 Wherefore should the nations say, Where then is their God?
Hvi skal Folkene sige: »Hvor er dog deres Gud?«
3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he pleased.
Vor Gud, han er i Himlen; alt, hvad han vil, det gør han!
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:
Deres Billeder er Sølv og Guld, Værk af Menneskehænder;
5 They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;
de har Mund, men taler ikke, Øjne, men ser dog ej;
6 They have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not;
de har Ører, men hører ikke, Næse, men lugter dog ej;
7 They have hands, and they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat.
de har Hænder, men føler ikke, Fødder, men gaar dog ej, deres Strube frembringer ikke en Lyd.
8 They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them.
Som dem skal de, der lavede dem, blive, enhver, som stoler paa dem!
9 O Israel, confide thou in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
Israel stoler paa HERREN, han er deres Hjælp og Skjold;
10 House of Aaron, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
Arons Hus stoler paa HERREN, han er deres Hjælp og Skjold;
11 Ye that fear Jehovah, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
de, som frygter HERREN, stoler paa ham, han er deres Hjælp og Skjold.
12 Jehovah hath been mindful of us: he will bless, he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron;
HERREN kommer os i Hu, velsigner, velsigner Israels Hus, velsigner Arons Hus,
13 He will bless them that fear Jehovah, both the small and the great.
velsigner dem, der frygter HERREN, og det baade smaa og store.
14 Jehovah will add unto you more, unto you and unto your children.
HERREN lader eder vokse i Tal, eder og eders Børn;
15 Ye are blessed of Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.
velsignet er I af HERREN, Himlens og Jordens Skaber.
16 The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
Himlen er HERRENS Himmel, men Jorden gav han til Menneskens Børn.
17 The dead praise not Jah, neither any that go down into silence;
De døde priser ej HERREN, ingen af dem, der steg ned i det tavse.
18 But we will bless Jah from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah!
Men vi, vi lover HERREN, fra nu og til evig Tid!
