< Psalms 135 >

1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise the Name of the Lord: ye seruants of the Lord, praise him.
Halleluja! Pris HERRENS Navn, pris det, I HERRENS Tjenere,
2 Ye that stande in the House of the Lord, and in the courtes of the House of our God,
som staar i HERRENS Hus, i vor Guds Huses Forgaarde!
3 Praise ye the Lord: for the Lord is good: sing praises vnto his Name: for it is a comely thing.
Pris HERREN, thi god er HERREN, lovsyng hans Navn, thi lifligt er det.
4 For the Lord hath chosen Iaakob to himselfe, and Israel for his chiefe treasure.
Thi HERREN udvalgte Jakob, Israel til sin Ejendom.
5 For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is aboue all gods.
Ja, jeg ved, at HERREN er stor, vor Herre er større end alle Guder.
6 Whatsoeuer pleased the Lord, that did hee in heauen and in earth, in the sea, and in all the depths.
HERREN gør alt, hvad han vil, i Himlene og paa Jorden, i Have og alle Verdensdyb.
7 He bringeth vp the cloudes from the ends of the earth, and maketh the lightnings with ye raine: he draweth foorth the winde out of his treasures.
Han lader Skyer stige op fra Jordens Ende, faar Lynene til at give Regn, sender Stormen ud fra sine Forraadskamre;
8 He smote the first borne of Egypt both of man and beast.
han, som slog Ægyptens førstefødte, baade Mennesker og Kvæg,
9 He hath sent tokens and wonders into the middes of thee, O Egypt, vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his seruants.
og sendte Tegn og Undere i din Midte, Ægypten, mod Farao og alle hans Folk;
10 He smote many nations, and slew mightie Kings:
han, som fældede store Folk og vog saa mægtige Konger,
11 As Sihon King of the Amorites, and Og King of Bashan, and all the kingdomes of Canaan:
Amoriternes Konge Sihon og Basans Konge Og og alle Kana'ans Riger
12 And gaue their lande for an inheritance, euen an inheritance vnto Israel his people.
og gav deres Land i Eje, i Eje til Israel, hans Folk.
13 Thy Name, O Lord, endureth for euer: O Lord, thy remembrance is from generation to generation.
HERRE, dit Navn er evigt, din Ihukommelse, HERRE, fra Slægt til Slægt,
14 For the Lord will iudge his people, and be pacified towardes his seruants.
thi Ret skaffer HERREN sit Folk og ynkes over sine Tjenere.
15 The idoles of the heathen are siluer and golde, euen the worke of mens handes.
Folkenes Billeder er Sølv og Guld, Værk af Menneskehænder;
16 They haue a mouth, and speake not: they haue eyes and see not.
de har Mund, men taler ikke, Øjne, men ser dog ej;
17 They haue eares and heare not, neither is there any breath in their mouth.
de har Ører, men hører ikke, ej heller er der Aande i deres Mund.
18 They that make them, are like vnto them: so are all that trust in them.
Som dem skal de, der laved dem, blive enhver, som stoler paa dem.
19 Praise the Lord, ye house of Israel: praise the Lord, ye house of Aaron.
Lov HERREN, Israels Hus, lov HERREN, Arons Hus,
20 Praise the Lord, ye house of Leui: ye that feare the Lord, praise the Lord.
lov HERREN, Levis Hus, lov HERREN, I, som frygter HERREN!
21 Praised bee the Lord out of Zion, which dwelleth in Ierusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
Fra Zion være HERREN lovet, han, som bor i Jerusalem!
