Psalms 118
1 Thank the Lord, for he is good! His trustworthy love lasts forever.
Pris Herren, for han er god, hans miskunnhet varer evindelig!
2 Let all Israel say, “His trustworthy love lasts forever.”
Israel sie: Hans miskunnhet varer evindelig!
3 Let Aaron's descendants say, “His trustworthy love lasts forever.”
Arons hus sie: Hans miskunnhet varer evindelig!
4 Let those who honor the Lord say, “His trustworthy love lasts forever.”
De som frykter Herren, sie: Hans miskunnhet varer evindelig!
5 I was suffering badly, so I cried out to the Lord for help. He answered me and set me free from my pain.
Ut av trengselen kalte jeg på Herren; Herren svarte mig og førte mig ut i fritt rum.
6 The Lord is with me, so I have nothing to fear. No one can harm me.
Herren er med mig, jeg frykter ikke; hvad skulde et menneske gjøre mig?
7 The Lord is with me, he will help me. I will see those who hate me defeated.
Herren er med mig, den som hjelper mig, og jeg skal se med lyst på dem som hater mig.
8 It's better to rely on the Lord than to trust in people.
Det er bedre å sette sin lit til Herren enn å stole på mennesker.
9 It's better to rely on the Lord than to trust in the rich and powerful.
Det er bedre å ta sin tilflukt til Herren enn å stole på fyrster.
10 Even though all the heathen nations surrounded me, I defeated them with the help of the Lord.
Alle hedninger omringer mig; i Herrens navn skal jeg hugge dem ned.
11 They completely surrounded me, but even so I defeated them with the help of the Lord.
De omgir mig, ja, de omringer mig; i Herrens navn skal jeg hugge dem ned.
12 Like a swarm of bees they attacked, but their attack died out as quickly as burning thorn twigs. I defeated them with the help of the Lord.
De omgir mig som bier, de slukner som ild i tornebusker; i Herrens navn skal jeg hugge dem ned.
13 They tried as hard as they could to kill me, but the Lord helped me.
Hårdt støtte du mig forat jeg skulde falle; men Herren hjalp mig.
14 The Lord is my strength, and the one I sing about. He is the one who saves me.
Herren er min styrke og lovsang, og han blev mig til frelse.
15 Songs of celebration and victory come from the tents of the faithful. The Lord's powerful hand has done amazing things!
Det høres fryderop om frelse i de rettferdiges telt; Herrens høire hånd gjør storverk.
16 The Lord raises his powerful hand in victory! The Lord's powerful hand has done amazing things!
Herrens høire hånd ophøier, Herrens høire hånd gjør storverk.
17 I'm not going to die. In fact I'm going to live, and let people know what the Lord has done.
Jeg skal ikke dø, men leve og fortelle Herrens gjerninger.
18 Even though the Lord punished me severely, he did not let me die.
Hårdt tuktet Herren mig, men til døden overgav han mig ikke.
19 Open the gates of the faithful for me so I can go in and thank the Lord.
Lukk op rettferdighets porter for mig! Jeg vil gå inn gjennem dem, jeg vil prise Herren.
20 These are the gates of the Lord where God's faithful people enter.
Dette er Herrens port; de rettferdige skal gå inn gjennem den.
21 I want to thank you for answering me and for being the one who saves me.
Jeg vil prise dig fordi du svarte mig og blev mig til frelse.
22 The stone rejected by the builders has turned out to be the chief cornerstone.
Den sten som bygningsmennene forkastet, er blitt hovedhjørnesten.
23 The Lord has done this, and it looks wonderful to us!
Av Herren er dette gjort, det er underfullt i våre øine.
24 The Lord made this day happen! We will celebrate and be happy for it!
Dette er dagen som Herren har gjort; la oss fryde oss og glede oss på den!
25 Lord, please save us! Lord, please make us successful!
Å Herre, frels dog! Å Herre, la det dog lykkes!
26 May the one who comes in the power of the Lord by blessed! We bless you from the house of the Lord!
Velsignet være han som kommer i Herrens navn! Vi velsigner eder fra Herrens hus.
27 The Lord is God, and his goodness shines on us. Branches in hand, start the procession up towards the altar.
Herren er Gud, og han lot det bli lyst for oss. Bind høitidsofferet med rep like inn til alterets horn!
28 You are my God, and I will thank you! You are my God, and I will praise you!
Du er min Gud, og jeg vil love dig, min Gud, jeg vil ophøie dig.
29 Thank the Lord, for he is good! His trustworthy love lasts forever!
Pris Herren, for han er god, hans miskunnhet varer evindelig.
