Psalms 146

1 Praise the Lord! With my whole being I praise the Lord!

Halleluja! Pris HERREN, min Sjæl!

2 I will praise the Lord while I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have breath.

Jeg vil prise HERREN hele mit Liv, lovsynge min Gud, så længe jeg lever.

3 Don't put your confidence in human leaders—they cannot save you.

Sæt ikke eders Lid til Fyrster, til et Menneskebarn, der ikke kan hjælpe!

4 Once they breathe no more, they go back to dust. On that very day everything they planned dies with them.

Hans Ånd går bort, han bliver til Jord igen, hans Råd er bristet samme Dag.

5 Happy are those who have the God of Jacob to help them—their hope is in the Lord their God—

Salig den, hvis Hjælp er Jakobs Gud, hvis Håb står til HERREN hans Gud,

6 the one who made heaven and earth, and the sea along with everything it contains. He is trustworthy forever.

som skabte Himmel og Jord, Havet og alf, hvad de rummer, som evigt bevarer sin Trofasthed

7 He makes sure the oppressed receive justice. He gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets the prisoners free.

og skaffer de undertrykte Ret, som giver de sultne Brød! HERREN løser de fangne,

8 The Lord makes the blind see. The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down. The Lord loves those who do what is right.

HERREN åbner de blindes Øjne, HERREN rejser de bøjede, HERREN elsker de retfærdige,

9 The Lord takes care of strangers among us. He looks after widows and orphans. But he makes life difficult for the wicked.

HERREN vogter de fremmede, opholder faderløse og Enker, men gudløses Vej gør han kroget.

10 The Lord will reign forever. Zion, he will be your God for all generations. Praise the Lord!

HERREN er Konge for evigt, din Gud, o Zion, fra Slægt til Slægt. Halleluja!
