Psalms 115
1 Not to us, Lord, not to us, but to you all glory should be given, because of your trustworthy love and faithfulness.
Ikke os, Herre! ikke os, men dit Navn give du Ære for din Miskundhed, for din Sandheds Skyld.
2 Why should the heathen nations ask, “Where is your God?”
Hvorfor skulle Hedningerne sige: Hvor er nu deres Gud?
3 Our God is in heaven, and he does whatever he wants.
Men vor Gud er i Himlene, han gør alt, hvad ham behager.
4 Their idols are just things of silver and gold made by human hands.
Deres Billeder ere Sølv og Guld, Menneskehænders Gerning.
5 They have mouths, but can't speak. They have eyes, but can't see.
De have Mund, men kunne ikke tale; de have Øjne, men kunne ikke se.
6 They have ears, but can't hear. They have noses, but can't smell.
De have Øren, men kunne ikke høre; de have Næse, men kunne ikke lugte.
7 They have hands, but can't feel. They have feet, but can't walk. No sound comes from their throats.
De have Hænder, men kunne ikke føle; de have Fødder, men kunne ikke gaa; de kunne ikke tale med deres Strube.
8 Those who make idols become just like them, and so does everyone who trusts in them.
Ligesom de ere, saa vorde de, der gøre dem, hver den, som forlader sig paa dem.
9 Israel, trust in the Lord! He is the one who helps you and protects you.
Israel! forlad dig paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
10 Descendants of Aaron, trust in the Lord! He is the one who helps you and protects you.
Arons Hus! forlader eder paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
11 Those who honor the Lord, trust in the Lord! He is the one who helps you and protects you.
I, som frygte Herren, forlader eder paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
12 The Lord keeps us in mind and will be good to us. He will bless Israel, he will bless the descendants of Aaron.
Herren kom os i Hu, han skal velsigne, han skal velsigne Israels Hus, han skal velsigne Arons Hus.
13 The Lord will bless all those who worship him, whoever they are.
Han skal velsigne dem, som frygte Herren, de smaa med de store.
14 May the Lord be good to you, you and your children.
Herren formere eder, eder og eders Børn!
15 May you be blessed by the Lord who made heaven and earth.
Velsignede være I for Herren, som har gjort Himmel og Jord.
16 The heavens belong to the Lord, but he has given the earth to humankind.
Himlene ere Herrens Himle, men Jorden gav han Menneskens Børn.
17 The dead do not praise the Lord, those who have gone down into the silence of the grave.
De døde love ikke Herren, ej heller nogen af dem, som nedfare til det stille.
18 But we the living will always praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!
Men vi, vi ville love Herren fra nu og indtil evig Tid. Halleluja!
