< Psalms 115 >

1 Not vnto vs, O Lord, not vnto vs, but vnto thy Name giue the glorie, for thy louing mercie and for thy truethes sake.
Ikke os, Herre! ikke os, men dit Navn give du Ære for din Miskundhed, for din Sandheds Skyld.
2 Wherefore shall the heathen say, Where is nowe their God?
Hvorfor skulle Hedningerne sige: Hvor er nu deres Gud?
3 But our God is in heauen: he doeth what so euer he will.
Men vor Gud er i Himlene, han gør alt, hvad ham behager.
4 Their idoles are siluer and golde, euen the worke of mens hands.
Deres Billeder ere Sølv og Guld, Menneskehænders Gerning.
5 They haue a mouth and speake not: they haue eyes and see not.
De have Mund, men kunne ikke tale; de have Øjne, men kunne ikke se.
6 They haue eares and heare not: they haue noses and smelll not.
De have Øren, men kunne ikke høre; de have Næse, men kunne ikke lugte.
7 They haue handes and touche not: they haue feete and walke not: neither make they a sound with their throte.
De have Hænder, men kunne ikke føle; de have Fødder, men kunne ikke gaa; de kunne ikke tale med deres Strube.
8 They that make them are like vnto them: so are all that trust in them.
Ligesom de ere, saa vorde de, der gøre dem, hver den, som forlader sig paa dem.
9 O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.
Israel! forlad dig paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.
Arons Hus! forlader eder paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
11 Ye that feare the Lord, trust in the Lord: for he is their helper and their shield.
I, som frygte Herren, forlader eder paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
12 The Lord hath bene mindfull of vs: he will blesse, he will blesse the house of Israel, he will blesse the house of Aaron.
Herren kom os i Hu, han skal velsigne, han skal velsigne Israels Hus, han skal velsigne Arons Hus.
13 He will blesse them that feare the Lord, both small and great.
Han skal velsigne dem, som frygte Herren, de smaa med de store.
14 The Lord will increase his graces towarde you, euen toward you and toward your children.
Herren formere eder, eder og eders Børn!
15 Ye are blessed of the Lord, which made the heauen and the earth.
Velsignede være I for Herren, som har gjort Himmel og Jord.
16 The heauens, euen the heauens are the Lordes: but he hath giuen the earth to the sonnes of men.
Himlene ere Herrens Himle, men Jorden gav han Menneskens Børn.
17 The dead prayse not the Lord, neither any that goe downe into the place of silence.
De døde love ikke Herren, ej heller nogen af dem, som nedfare til det stille.
18 But we will prayse the Lord from henceforth and for euer. Prayse ye the Lord.
Men vi, vi ville love Herren fra nu og indtil evig Tid. Halleluja!
