Psalms 146

1 Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

Min Sjæl! lov Herren!

2 As long as I live will I praise Jehovah; I will sing psalms unto my God while I have my being.

Jeg vil love Herren, medens jeg lever, jeg vil synge min Gud Psalmer, medens jeg er til.

3 Put not confidence in nobles, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

Forlader eder ikke paa Fyrster, paa et Menneskes Barn, hos hvem der ingen Frelse er.

4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his purposes perish.

Hans Aand udfarer, han vender tilbage til sit Støv; paa den Dag er det forbi med hans stolte Anslag.

5 Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah his God,

Salig er den, hvis Hjælp Jakobs Gud er, hvis Haab er til Herren hans Gud;

6 Who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;

som gjorde Himmelen og Jorden, Havet og alt det, som der er i dem, han, som bliver Sandhed tro evindelig;

7 Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;

som skaffer dem Ret, der lide Vold, som giver de hungrige Brød; Herren løser de bundne.

8 Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;

Herren aabner de blindes Øjne; Herren oprejser de nedbøjede; Herren elsker de retfærdige.

9 Jehovah preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert.

Herren bevarer de fremmede; han opholder faderløse og Enker, men forvender de ugudeliges Vej.

10 Jehovah will reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Hallelujah!

Herren skal regere evindelig, din Gud, o Zion! fra Slægt til Slægt. Halleluja!
