Psalms 135
1 Hallelujah! Praise the name of Jehovah; praise, ye servants of Jehovah,
Lover Herrens Navn, lover, I Herrens Tjenere!
2 Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, in the courts of the house of our God.
I, som staa i Herrens Hus, i vor Guds Hus's Forgaarde.
3 Praise ye Jah; for Jehovah is good: sing psalms unto his name; for it is pleasant.
Lover Herren; thi Herren er god; lovsynger hans Navn; thi det er lifligt.
4 For Jah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, Israel for his own possession.
Thi Herren har udvalgt sig Jakob, Israel til sin Ejendom.
5 For I know that Jehovah is great, and our Lord is above all gods.
Thi jeg ved, at Herren er stor, og at vor Herre er større end alle Guder.
6 Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, he hath done in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps;
Herren gør alt, hvad ham behager, i Himmelen og paa Jorden, i Havene og i alle Afgrunde.
7 Who causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; who maketh lightnings for the rain; who bringeth the wind out of his treasuries:
Han gør, at Dampe opstige fra Jordens Grænse; han gør Lynene til Regn, han udfører Vejret af sine Forraadskamre.
8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast;
Han, som slog de førstefødte i Ægypten, baade Mennesker og Dyr;
9 Who sent signs and miracles into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants;
han sendte Tegn og underlige Ting i din Midte, Ægypten! paa Farao og paa alle hans Tjenere;
10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings,
han, som slog mange Folk og ihjelslog stærke Konger:
11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;
Amoriternes Konge Sihon og Basans Konge Og samt alle Riger i Kanaan;
12 And gave their land for an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people.
og han gav deres Land til Arv, til Arv for sit Folk Israel.
13 Thy name, O Jehovah, is for ever; thy memorial, O Jehovah, from generation to generation.
Herre! dit Navn bliver evindelig; Herre! din Ihukommelse bliver fra Slægt til Slægt.
14 For Jehovah will judge his people, and will repent in favour of his servants.
Thi Herren skal dømme sit Folk, og det skal angre ham for hans Tjeneres Skyld.
15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:
Hedningernes Afguder ere Sølv og Guld, et Menneskes Hænders Gerning.
16 They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;
De have Mund, men tale ikke; de have Øjne, men se ikke.
17 They have ears, and they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth.
De have Øren, men høre ikke, og der er ingen Aande i deres Mund.
18 They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them.
Ligesom disse ere, saa blive de, som gøre dem, ja, hver den, som forlader sig paa dem.
19 House of Israel, bless ye Jehovah; house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah;
Israels Hus! lover Herren; Arons Hus! lover Herren.
20 House of Levi, bless ye Jehovah; ye that fear Jehovah, bless Jehovah.
Levis Hus! lover Herren; I, som frygte Herren! lover Herren.
21 Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem! Hallelujah!
Lovet være Herren fra Zion, han, som bor i Jerusalem! Halleluja!
