< Psalms 135 >

1 Praise ye the name of the Lord: O you his servants, praise the Lord:
Halleluja! Pris Herrens navn, pris det, I HERRENs Tjenere,
2 You that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
som står i HERRENs Hus, i vor Guds Huses Forgårde!
3 Praise ye the Lord, for the Lord is good: sing ye to his name, for it is sweet.
Pris HERREN, thi god er HERREN, lovsyng hans Navn, thi lifligt er det.
4 For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself: Israel for his own possession.
Thi HERREN udvalgte Jakob, Israel til sin Ejendom.
5 For I have known that the Lord is great, and our God is above all gods.
Ja, jeg ved, at HERREN er stor, 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 han vil, i Himlene og på Jorden, i Have og alle Verdensdyb.
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 lader Skyer stige op fra Jordens Ende, får Lynene til at give Regn, sender Stormen ud fra sine Forrådskamre;
8 He slew the firstborn of Egypt from man even unto beast.
han, som slog Ægyptens førstefødte, både Mennesker og Kvæg,
9 He sent forth signs and wonders in the midst of thee, O Egypt: upon Pharao, and upon all his servants.
og sendte Tegn og Undere i din Midte, Ægypten, mod Farao og alle hans Folk;
10 He smote many nations, and slew mighty kings:
han, som fældede store Folk og veg så mægtige Konger,
11 Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan.
Amoriternes konge Sion og Basans Konge Og, og alle Kana'ans Riger
12 And gave their land for an inheritance, for an inheritance to his people Israel.
og gav deres Land i Eje, i Eje til Israel, hans Folk.
13 Thy name, O Lord, is for ever: thy memorial, O Lord, unto all generations.
HERRE, dit Navn er evigt, din Ihukommelse, HERRE, fra Slægt til Slægt,
14 For the Lord will judge his people, and will be entreated in favour of his servants.
thi Ret skaffer HERREN sit Folk og ynkes over sine Tjenere.
15 The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of men’s hands.
Folkenes Billeder er Sølv og Guld, Værk af Menneskehænder;
16 They have a mouth, but they speak not: they have eyes, but they see not.
de har Mund, men taler ikke, Øjne, men ser dog ej;
17 They have ears, but they hear not: neither is there any breath in their mouths.
de har Ører, men hører ikke, ej heller er der Ånde i deres Mund.
18 Let them that make them be like to them: and every one that trusteth in them.
Som dem skal de, der laved dem, blive enhver, som stoler på dem.
19 Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron.
Lov HERREN, Israels Hus, lov HERREN, Arons Hus,
20 Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: you that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
lov HERREN, Levis Hus, lov HERREN, I, som frygter HERREN!
21 Blessed be the Lord out of Sion, who dwelleth in Jerusalem.
Fra Zion være HERREN lovet, han, som bor i Jerusalem!
