< 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, o Herre, ikke os, men dit navn, det give du ære for din Miskundheds og Trofastheds Skyld!
2 Why should the heathen nations ask, “Where is your God?”
Hvi skal Folkene sige: "Hvor er dog deres Gud?"
3 Our God is in heaven, and he does whatever he wants.
Vor Gud, han er i Himlen; alt, hvad han vil, det gør han!
4 Their idols are just things of silver and gold made by human hands.
Deres Billeder er Sølv og Guld, Værk af Menneskehænder;
5 They have mouths, but can't speak. They have eyes, but can't see.
de har Mund, men taler ikke, Øjne, men ser dog ej;
6 They have ears, but can't hear. They have noses, but can't smell.
de har Ører, men hører ikke, Næse men lugter dog ej;
7 They have hands, but can't feel. They have feet, but can't walk. No sound comes from their throats.
de har Hænder, men føler ikke, Fødder, men går dog ej, deres Strube frembringer ikke en Lyd.
8 Those who make idols become just like them, and so does everyone who trusts in them.
Som dem skal de, der lavede dem, blive, enhver, som stoler på dem!
9 Israel, trust in the Lord! He is the one who helps you and protects you.
Israel stoler på HERREN, han er deres Hjælp og Skjold;
10 Descendants of Aaron, trust in the Lord! He is the one who helps you and protects you.
Arons Hus stoler på HERREN, han er deres Hjælp og Skjold;
11 Those who honor the Lord, trust in the Lord! He is the one who helps you and protects you.
de, som frygter HERREN, stoler på ham, han er deres Hjælp og 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 kommer os i Hu, velsigner, velsigner Israels Hus, velsigner Arons Hus,
13 The Lord will bless all those who worship him, whoever they are.
velsigner dem, der frygter HERREN, og det både små og store.
14 May the Lord be good to you, you and your children.
HERREN lader eder vokse i Tal, eder og eders Børn;
15 May you be blessed by the Lord who made heaven and earth.
velsignet er I af HERREN, Himlens og Jordens Skaber.
16 The heavens belong to the Lord, but he has given the earth to humankind.
Himlen er HERRENs Himmel, men Jorden gav han til Menneskens Børn.
17 The dead do not praise the Lord, those who have gone down into the silence of the grave.
De døde priser ej HERREN, ingen af dem, der steg ned i det tavse.
18 But we the living will always praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!
Men vi, vi lover HERREN, fra nu og til evig Tid!
