< Psalms 135 >

1 Praise ye the LORD! Praise ye the name of the LORD! Praise him, O ye servants of the LORD!
Halleluja! Pris Herrens navn, pris det, I HERRENs Tjenere,
2 Ye who stand in the house of the LORD, In the courts of the house of our God!
som står i HERRENs Hus, i vor Guds Huses Forgårde!
3 Praise ye the LORD, for the LORD is good; Praise his name, for he is kind!
Pris HERREN, thi god er HERREN, lovsyng hans Navn, thi lifligt er det.
4 For the LORD chose Jacob for himself, And Israel for his own possession.
Thi HERREN udvalgte Jakob, Israel til sin Ejendom.
5 I know that the LORD is great; That our Lord is above all gods.
Ja, jeg ved, at HERREN er stor, vor Herre er større end alle Guder.
6 All that the LORD pleaseth, that he doeth, In heaven and upon earth, In the sea, and in all deeps.
HERREN gør alt, hvad han vil, i Himlene og på Jorden, i Have og alle Verdensdyb.
7 He causeth the clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; He maketh lightnings for the rain; He bringeth the wind from his store-houses.
Han lader Skyer stige op fra Jordens Ende, får Lynene til at give Regn, sender Stormen ud fra sine Forrådskamre;
8 He smote the first-born of Egypt, Both of man and beast.
han, som slog Ægyptens førstefødte, både Mennesker og Kvæg,
9 He sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt! Against Pharaoh and all his servants!
og sendte Tegn og Undere i din Midte, Ægypten, mod Farao og alle hans Folk;
10 He smote many nations, And slew mighty kings;
han, som fældede store Folk og veg så mægtige Konger,
11 Sihon, the king of the Amorites, And Og, the king of Bashan, And all the kings of Canaan;
Amoriternes konge Sion og Basans Konge Og, og alle Kana'ans Riger
12 And gave their land for an inheritance, For an inheritance to Israel, his people.
og gav deres Land i Eje, i Eje til Israel, hans Folk.
13 Thy name, O LORD! endureth for ever; Thy memorial, O LORD! to all generations!
HERRE, dit Navn er evigt, din Ihukommelse, HERRE, fra Slægt til Slægt,
14 For the LORD judgeth his people, And hath compassion on his servants.
thi Ret skaffer HERREN sit Folk og ynkes over sine Tjenere.
15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, The work of men's hands.
Folkenes Billeder er Sølv og Guld, Værk af Menneskehænder;
16 They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not.
de har Mund, men taler ikke, Øjne, men ser dog ej;
17 They have ears, but they hear not; And there is no breath in their mouths.
de har Ører, men hører ikke, ej heller er der Ånde i deres Mund.
18 They that make them are like them; So is every one that trusteth in them.
Som dem skal de, der laved dem, blive enhver, som stoler på dem.
19 Praise the LORD, O house of Israel! Praise the LORD, O house of Aaron!
Lov HERREN, Israels Hus, lov HERREN, Arons Hus,
20 Praise the LORD, O house of Levi! Ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD!
lov HERREN, Levis Hus, lov HERREN, I, som frygter HERREN!
21 Praised be the LORD out of Zion, He that dwelleth in Jerusalem! Praise ye the LORD!
Fra Zion være HERREN lovet, han, som bor i Jerusalem!
