Psalms 115
1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your mercy, and for your truth’s sake.
Ikke os, Herre! ikke os, men dit Navn give du Ære for din Miskundhed, for din Sandheds Skyld.
2 Why should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
Hvorfor skulle Hedningerne sige: Hvor er nu deres Gud?
3 But our God is in the heavens: he has done whatever he has pleased.
Men vor Gud er i Himlene, han gør alt, hvad ham behager.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
Deres Billeder ere Sølv og Guld, Menneskehænders Gerning.
5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
De have Mund, men kunne ikke tale; de have Øjne, men kunne ikke se.
6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
De have Øren, men kunne ikke høre; de have Næse, men kunne ikke lugte.
7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
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 to them; so is every one that trusts in them.
Ligesom de ere, saa vorde de, der gøre dem, hver den, som forlader sig paa dem.
9 O Israel, trust you in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
Israel! forlad dig paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
Arons Hus! forlader eder paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
11 You that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
I, som frygte Herren, forlader eder paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
12 The LORD has been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless 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 bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.
Han skal velsigne dem, som frygte Herren, de smaa med de store.
14 The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
Herren formere eder, eder og eders Børn!
15 You are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.
Velsignede være I for Herren, som har gjort Himmel og Jord.
16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s: but the earth has he given to the children of men.
Himlene ere Herrens Himle, men Jorden gav han Menneskens Børn.
17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.
De døde love ikke Herren, ej heller nogen af dem, som nedfare til det stille.
18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for ever more. Praise the LORD.
Men vi, vi ville love Herren fra nu og indtil evig Tid. Halleluja!
