Psalms 146

1 Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.

Min Sjæl! lov Herren!

2 Praise the Lord, O my soul, in my life I will praise the Lord: I will sing to my God as long as I shall be. Put not your trust in princes:

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

3 In the children of men, in whom there is no salvation.

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

4 His spirit shall go forth, and he shall return into his earth: in that day all their thoughts shall 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 helper, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

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

6 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in them.

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

7 Who keepeth truth for ever: who executeth judgment for them that suffer wrong: who giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth them that are fettered:

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

8 The Lord enlighteneth the blind. The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down: the Lord loveth the just.

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

9 The Lord keepeth the strangers, he will support the fatherless and the widow: and the ways of sinners he will destroy.

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

10 The Lord shall reign for ever: thy God, O Sion, unto generation and generation.

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