Psalms 146

1 Praise JAH. Praise YHWH, my soul.

Halleluja! Pris HERREN, min Sjæl!

2 While I live, I will praise YHWH. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

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

3 Do not put your trust in princes, each a son of man in whom there is no help.

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

4 His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.

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

5 Blessed is the one who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in YHWH his God,

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

6 who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever;

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

7 who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. YHWH frees the prisoners.

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

8 YHWH opens the eyes of the blind. YHWH raises up those who are bowed down. YHWH loves the righteous.

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

9 YHWH preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.

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

10 YHWH will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise JAH.

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