Psalms 146

1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise thou the Lord, O my soule.

Halleluja! Pris HERREN, min Sjæl!

2 I will prayse the Lord during my life: as long as I haue any being, I wil sing vnto my God.

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

3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the sonne of man, for there is none helpe in him.

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

4 His breath departeth, and he returneth to his earth: then his thoughtes perish.

Hans Aand gaar bort, han bliver til Jord igen, hans Raad er bristet samme Dag.

5 Blessed is he, that hath the God of Iaakob for his helpe, whose hope is in the Lord his God.

Salig den, hvis Hjælp er Jakobs Gud, hvis Haab staar til HERREN hans Gud,

6 Which made heauen and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth his fidelitie for euer:

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

7 Which executeth iustice for the oppressed: which giueth bread to the hungry: the Lord loseth the prisoners.

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

8 The Lord giueth sight to the blinde: the Lord rayseth vp the crooked: the Lord loueth the righteous.

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

9 The Lord keepeth the strangers: he relieueth the fatherlesse and widowe: but he ouerthroweth the way of the wicked.

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

10 The Lord shall reigne for euer: O Zion, thy God endureth from generation to generation. Prayse ye the Lord.

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