< Psalms 135 >

1 Alleluia. Praise you the name of the Lord; praise the Lord, [you his] servants,
Lover Herrens Navn, lover, I Herrens Tjenere!
2 who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
I, som staa i Herrens Hus, i vor Guds Hus's Forgaarde.
3 Praise you the Lord; for the Lord is good: sing praises to his name; for [it is] good.
Lover Herren; thi Herren er god; lovsynger hans Navn; thi det er lifligt.
4 For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, [and] Israel for his peculiar treasure.
Thi Herren har udvalgt sig Jakob, Israel til sin Ejendom.
5 For I know that the Lord is great, and our Lord is above all gods;
Thi jeg ved, at Herren er stor, og at vor Herre er større end alle Guder.
6 all that the Lord willed, he did in heaven, and on the earth, in the sea, and in all deeps.
Herren gør alt, hvad ham behager, i Himmelen og paa Jorden, i Havene og i alle Afgrunde.
7 Who brings up clouds from the extremity of the earth: he has made lightnings for the rain: he brings winds out of his treasures.
Han gør, at Dampe opstige fra Jordens Grænse; han gør Lynene til Regn, han udfører Vejret af sine Forraadskamre.
8 Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.
Han, som slog de førstefødte i Ægypten, baade Mennesker og Dyr;
9 He sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt, on Pharao, and on all his servants.
han sendte Tegn og underlige Ting i din Midte, Ægypten! paa Farao og paa alle hans Tjenere;
10 Who struck many nations, and killed mighty kings;
han, som slog mange Folk og ihjelslog stærke Konger:
11 Seon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan:
Amoriternes Konge Sihon og Basans Konge Og samt alle Riger i Kanaan;
12 and gave their land [for] an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.
og han gav deres Land til Arv, til Arv for sit Folk Israel.
13 O Lord, your name [endures] for ever, and your memorial to all generations.
Herre! dit Navn bliver evindelig; Herre! din Ihukommelse bliver fra Slægt til Slægt.
14 For the Lord shall judge his people, and comfort himself concerning his servants.
Thi Herren skal dømme sit Folk, og det skal angre ham for hans Tjeneres Skyld.
15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.
Hedningernes Afguder ere Sølv og Guld, et Menneskes Hænders Gerning.
16 They have a mouth, but they can’t speak; they have eyes, but they can’t see;
De have Mund, men tale ikke; de have Øjne, men se ikke.
17 they have ears, but they can’t hear; for there is no breath in their mouth.
De have Øren, men høre ikke, og der er ingen Aande i deres Mund.
18 Let those who make them be made like to them; and all those who trust in them.
Ligesom disse ere, saa blive de, som gøre dem, ja, hver den, som forlader sig paa dem.
19 O house of Israel, bless you the Lord: O house of Aaron, bless you the Lord:
Israels Hus! lover Herren; Arons Hus! lover Herren.
20 O house of Levi, bless you the Lord: you that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
Levis Hus! lover Herren; I, som frygte Herren! lover Herren.
21 Blessed in Sion be the Lord, who dwells in Jerusalem.
Lovet være Herren fra Zion, han, som bor i Jerusalem! Halleluja!
