< Psalms 118 >

1 'O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.'
Halleluja! Tak Herren, thi han er god, thi hans miskundhed varer evindelig.
2 So let Israel now say, for His mercy endureth for ever,
Israel sige: "Thi hans miskundhed varer evindelig!"
3 So let the house of Aaron now say, for His mercy endureth for ever.
Arons Hus sige: "Thi hans Miskundhed varer evindelig!"
4 So let them now that fear the LORD say, for His mercy endureth for ever.
De, som frygter HERREN, sige: "Thi hans Miskundhed varer evindelig!"
5 Out of my straits I called upon the LORD; He answered me with great enlargement.
Jeg påkaldte HERREN i Trængslen, HERREN svared og førte mig ud i åbent Land.
6 The LORD is for me; I will not fear; what can man do unto me?
HERREN, er med mig, jeg frygter ikke, hvad kan Mennesker gøre mig?
7 The LORD is for me as my helper; and I shall gaze upon them that hate me.
HERREN, han er min Hjælper, jeg skal se med Fryd på dem, der hader mig.
8 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.
At ty til HERREN er godt fremfor at stole på Mennesker;
9 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes.
at ty til HERREN er godt fremfor at stole på Fyrster.
10 All nations compass me about; verily, in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.
Alle Folkeslag flokkedes om mig, jeg slog dem ned i HERRENs Navn;
11 They compass me about, yea, they compass me about; verily, in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.
de flokkedes om mig fra alle Sider, jeg slog dem ned i HERRENs Navn;
12 They compass me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns; verily, in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.
de flokkedes om mig som Bier, blussed op, som Ild i Torne, jeg slog dem ned i HERRENs Navn.
13 Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall; but the LORD helped me.
Hårdt blev jeg ramt, så jeg faldt, men HERREN hjalp mig.
14 The LORD is my strength and song; and He is become my salvation.
Min Styrke og Lovsang er HERREN, han blev mig til Frelse.
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
Jubel og Sejrsråb lyder i de retfærdiges Telte: "HERRENs højre øver Vælde,
16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted; the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
HERRENs højre er løftet, HERRENs højre øver Vælde!"
17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
Jeg skal ikke dø, men leve og kundgøre HERRENs Gerninger.
18 The LORD hath chastened me sore; but He hath not given me over unto death.
HERREN tugted mig hårdt, men gav mig ej hen i Døden.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto the LORD.
Oplad mig Retfærdigheds Porte, ad dem går jeg ind og lovsynger HERREN!
20 This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter into it.
Her er HERRENs Port, ad den går retfærdige ind.
21 I will give thanks unto Thee, for Thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation.
Jeg vil takke dig, thi du bønhørte mig, og du blev mig til Frelse.
22 The stone which the builders rejected is become the chief corner-stone.
Den Sten; Bygmestrene forkastede, er blevet Hovedhjørnesten.
23 This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
Fra HERREN er dette kommet, det er underfuldt for vore Øjne.
24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Denne er Dagen, som HERREN har gjort, lad os juble og glæde os på den!
25 We beseech Thee, O LORD, save now! We beseech Thee, O LORD, make us now to prosper!
Ak, HERRE, frels dog, ak, HERRE; lad det dog lykkes!
26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD; we bless you out of the house of the LORD.
Velsignet den, der kommer, i HERRENs Navn; vi velsigner eder fra HERRENs Hus!
27 The LORD is God, and hath given us light; order the festival procession with boughs, even unto the horns of the altar.
HERREN er Gud, og han lod det lysne for os. Festtoget med Grenene slynge sig frem, til Alterets Horn er nået!
28 Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto Thee; Thou art my God, I will exalt Thee.
Du er min Gud, jeg vil takke dig, min Gud, jeg vil ophøje dig!
29 O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.
Tak HERREN, thi han er god, thi hans Miskundhed varer evindelig!
