Psalms 135
1 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord's reputation! Praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord
Halleluja! Pris Herrens navn, pris det, I HERRENs Tjenere,
2 who worship in the house of the Lord, in the courts of our God.
som står i HERRENs Hus, i vor Guds Huses Forgårde!
3 Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing praises to his character because it is wonderful!
Pris HERREN, thi god er HERREN, lovsyng hans Navn, thi lifligt er det.
4 For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself; Israel as his very own.
Thi HERREN udvalgte Jakob, Israel til sin Ejendom.
5 I know how great the Lord is—our Lord is greater than all gods.
Ja, jeg ved, at HERREN er stor, vor Herre er større end alle Guder.
6 The Lord does whatever he wants throughout heaven and earth, on the seas and in the ocean depths.
HERREN gør alt, hvad han vil, i Himlene og på Jorden, i Have og alle Verdensdyb.
7 He causes the clouds to rise all over the earth, he makes lightning flash and give rain, he sends the winds from his storehouses.
Han lader Skyer stige op fra Jordens Ende, får Lynene til at give Regn, sender Stormen ud fra sine Forrådskamre;
8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, both human and animal.
han, som slog Ægyptens førstefødte, både Mennesker og Kvæg,
9 He did wonderful miracles among you in Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
og sendte Tegn og Undere i din Midte, Ægypten, mod Farao og alle hans Folk;
10 He struck down many nations, he killed powerful kings, such as
han, som fældede store Folk og veg så mægtige Konger,
11 Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, and all the kings who ruled in Canaan.
Amoriternes konge Sion og Basans Konge Og, og alle Kana'ans Riger
12 He handed over their lands to Israel, his special people, for them to possess.
og gav deres Land i Eje, i Eje til Israel, hans Folk.
13 Your reputation, Lord, stands forever; you, Lord, are remembered for all generations.
HERRE, dit Navn er evigt, din Ihukommelse, HERRE, fra Slægt til Slægt,
14 The Lord will vindicate his people; he will show compassion to those who follow him.
thi Ret skaffer HERREN sit Folk og ynkes over sine Tjenere.
15 The idols of the foreign nations are only objects of silver and gold, made by human hands.
Folkenes Billeder er Sølv og Guld, Værk af Menneskehænder;
16 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;
17 They have ears, but can't hear; they can't even breathe!
de har Ører, men hører ikke, ej heller er der Ånde i deres Mund.
18 Those who make idols will become just like them, and so will everyone who trusts in them.
Som dem skal de, der laved dem, blive enhver, som stoler på dem.
19 People of Israel, praise the Lord! Descendants of Aaron, praise the Lord!
Lov HERREN, Israels Hus, lov HERREN, Arons Hus,
20 Levites, praise the Lord! Everyone who worships the Lord, praise the Lord!
lov HERREN, Levis Hus, lov HERREN, I, som frygter HERREN!
21 Praise the Lord from Zion, for he lives in Jerusalem! Praise the Lord!
Fra Zion være HERREN lovet, han, som bor i Jerusalem!
