< 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, o Herre, ikke os, men dit navn, det give du ære for din Miskundheds og Trofastheds Skyld!
2 Wherefore shall the heathen say, Where is nowe their God?
Hvi skal Folkene sige: "Hvor er dog deres Gud?"
3 But our God is in heauen: he doeth what so euer he will.
Vor Gud, han er i Himlen; alt, hvad han vil, det gør han!
4 Their idoles are siluer and golde, euen the worke of mens hands.
Deres Billeder er Sølv og Guld, Værk af Menneskehænder;
5 They haue a mouth and speake not: they haue eyes and see not.
de har Mund, men taler ikke, Øjne, men ser dog ej;
6 They haue eares and heare not: they haue noses and smelll not.
de har Ører, men hører ikke, Næse men lugter dog ej;
7 They haue handes and touche not: they haue feete and walke not: neither make they a sound with their throte.
de har Hænder, men føler ikke, Fødder, men går dog ej, deres Strube frembringer ikke en Lyd.
8 They that make them are like vnto them: so are all that trust in them.
Som dem skal de, der lavede dem, blive, enhver, som stoler på dem!
9 O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.
Israel stoler på HERREN, han er deres Hjælp og Skjold;
10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.
Arons Hus stoler på HERREN, han er deres Hjælp og Skjold;
11 Ye that feare the Lord, trust in the Lord: for he is their helper and their shield.
de, som frygter HERREN, stoler på ham, han er deres Hjælp og 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 kommer os i Hu, velsigner, velsigner Israels Hus, velsigner Arons Hus,
13 He will blesse them that feare the Lord, both small and great.
velsigner dem, der frygter HERREN, og det både små og store.
14 The Lord will increase his graces towarde you, euen toward you and toward your children.
HERREN lader eder vokse i Tal, eder og eders Børn;
15 Ye are blessed of the Lord, which made the heauen and the earth.
velsignet er I af HERREN, Himlens og Jordens Skaber.
16 The heauens, euen the heauens are the Lordes: but he hath giuen the earth to the sonnes of men.
Himlen er HERRENs Himmel, men Jorden gav han til Menneskens Børn.
17 The dead prayse not the Lord, neither any that goe downe into the place of silence.
De døde priser ej HERREN, ingen af dem, der steg ned i det tavse.
18 But we will prayse the Lord from henceforth and for euer. Prayse ye the Lord.
Men vi, vi lover HERREN, fra nu og til evig Tid!
