Psalms 115
1 Not unto us, O Yhwh, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.
Ikke os, Herre! ikke os, men dit Navn give du Ære for din Miskundhed, for din Sandheds Skyld.
2 Wherefore 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 hath done whatsoever he hath 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 unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
Ligesom de ere, saa vorde de, der gøre dem, hver den, som forlader sig paa dem.
9 O Israel, trust thou in Yhwh: 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 Yhwh: he is their help and their shield.
Arons Hus! forlader eder paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
11 Ye that fear Yhwh, trust in Yhwh: he is their help and their shield.
I, som frygte Herren, forlader eder paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.
12 Yhwh hath 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 Yhwh, both small and great.
Han skal velsigne dem, som frygte Herren, de smaa med de store.
14 Yhwh shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
Herren formere eder, eder og eders Børn!
15 Ye are blessed of Yhwh which made heaven and earth.
Velsignede være I for Herren, som har gjort Himmel og Jord.
16 The heaven, even the heavens, are Yhwh's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
Himlene ere Herrens Himle, men Jorden gav han Menneskens Børn.
17 The dead praise not Yah, 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 Yah from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelu jah.
Men vi, vi ville love Herren fra nu og indtil evig Tid. Halleluja!
