< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise the Lord! Praise him, servants of the Lord! Praise the Lord's as he is!
Lover, I Herrens Tjenere, lover Herrens Navn!
2 Let the Lord's nature be praised, now and forever.
Lovet være Herrens Navn fra nu og indtil evig Tid!
3 Let everyone everywhere, from the east to the west, praise the Lord as he is!
Fra Solens Opgang indtil dens Nedgang er Herrens Navn højlovet.
4 The Lord rules supreme over all nations; his glory extends higher than the heavens.
Herren er høj over alle Hedninger, hans Herlighed er over Himlene.
5 Who is like the Lord our God? He is the one who lives on high, seated on his throne.
Hvo er som Herren vor Gud? han, som har sat sit Sæde højt;
6 He has to stoop low to look down on the heavens and the earth.
han, som stiger dybt ned for at se, i Himlene og paa Jorden;
7 He helps the poor up from the dust; he lifts the needy from the dump.
han, som oprejser den ringe af Støvet, som ophøjer en fattig af Skarnet
8 He gives them positions of honor together important leaders, with leaders of his own people.
for at sætte ham hos Fyrster, hos sit Folks Fyrster;
9 He makes the childless woman happy in her home by giving her children. Praise the Lord!
han, som gør, at den ufrugtbare i Huset kommer til at bo som en glad Barnemoder. Halleluja.
