Psalms 146

1 Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.

Halleluja! Pris HERREN, min Sjæl!

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 prise HERREN hele mit Liv, lovsynge min Gud, saa længe jeg lever.

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

Sæt ikke eders Lid til Fyrster, til et Menneskebarn, der ikke kan hjælpe!

4 His spirit shall go forth, and he shall return into his earth: in that day all their thoughts shall perish.

Hans Aand gaar bort, han bliver til Jord igen, hans Raad er bristet samme Dag.

5 Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his helper, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

Salig den, hvis Hjælp er Jakobs Gud, hvis Haab staar til HERREN hans Gud,

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

som skabte Himmel og Jord, Havet og alt, hvad de rummer, som evigt bevarer sin Trofasthed

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:

og skaffer de undertrykte Ret, som giver de sultne Brød! HERREN løser de fangne,

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 rejser de bøjede, 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 vogter de fremmede, opholder faderløse og Enker, men gudløses Vej gør han kroget.

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

HERREN er Konge for evigt, din Gud, o Zion, fra Slægt til Slægt. Halleluja!
