Psalms 135
1 Praise ye the name of the Lord: O you his servants, praise the Lord:
Lover Herrens Navn, lover, I Herrens Tjenere!
2 You that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
I, som staa i Herrens Hus, i vor Guds Hus's Forgaarde.
3 Praise ye the Lord, for the Lord is good: sing ye to his name, for it is sweet.
Lover Herren; thi Herren er god; lovsynger hans Navn; thi det er lifligt.
4 For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself: Israel for his own possession.
Thi Herren har udvalgt sig Jakob, Israel til sin Ejendom.
5 For I have known that the Lord is great, and our God is above all gods.
Thi jeg ved, at Herren er stor, og at vor Herre er større end alle Guder.
6 Whatsoever the Lord hath pleased he hath done, in heaven, in earth, in the sea, and in all the deeps.
Herren gør alt, hvad ham behager, i Himmelen og paa Jorden, i Havene og i alle Afgrunde.
7 He bringeth up clouds from the end of the earth: he hath made lightnings for the rain. He bringeth forth winds out of his stores:
Han gør, at Dampe opstige fra Jordens Grænse; han gør Lynene til Regn, han udfører Vejret af sine Forraadskamre.
8 He slew the firstborn of Egypt from man even unto beast.
Han, som slog de førstefødte i Ægypten, baade Mennesker og Dyr;
9 He sent forth signs and wonders in the midst of thee, O Egypt: upon Pharao, and upon all his servants.
han sendte Tegn og underlige Ting i din Midte, Ægypten! paa Farao og paa alle hans Tjenere;
10 He smote many nations, and slew mighty kings:
han, som slog mange Folk og ihjelslog stærke Konger:
11 Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan.
Amoriternes Konge Sihon og Basans Konge Og samt alle Riger i Kanaan;
12 And gave their land for an inheritance, for an inheritance to his people Israel.
og han gav deres Land til Arv, til Arv for sit Folk Israel.
13 Thy name, O Lord, is for ever: thy memorial, O Lord, unto all generations.
Herre! dit Navn bliver evindelig; Herre! din Ihukommelse bliver fra Slægt til Slægt.
14 For the Lord will judge his people, and will be entreated 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 Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of men’s hands.
Hedningernes Afguder ere Sølv og Guld, et Menneskes Hænders Gerning.
16 They have a mouth, but they speak not: they have eyes, but they see not.
De have Mund, men tale ikke; de have Øjne, men se ikke.
17 They have ears, but they hear not: neither is there any breath in their mouths.
De have Øren, men høre ikke, og der er ingen Aande i deres Mund.
18 Let them that make them be like to them: and every one that trusteth in them.
Ligesom disse ere, saa blive de, som gøre dem, ja, hver den, som forlader sig paa dem.
19 Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron.
Israels Hus! lover Herren; Arons Hus! lover Herren.
20 Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: you that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
Levis Hus! lover Herren; I, som frygte Herren! lover Herren.
21 Blessed be the Lord out of Sion, who dwelleth in Jerusalem.
Lovet være Herren fra Zion, han, som bor i Jerusalem! Halleluja!
