< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.
Lover, I Herrens Tjenere, lover Herrens Navn!
2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.
Lovet være Herrens Navn fra nu og indtil evig Tid!
3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’S name is to be praised.
Fra Solens Opgang indtil dens Nedgang er Herrens Navn højlovet.
4 The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
Herren er høj over alle Hedninger, hans Herlighed er over Himlene.
5 Who is like unto the LORD our God, that hath his seat on high,
Hvo er som Herren vor Gud? han, som har sat sit Sæde højt;
6 That humbleth himself to behold [the things that are] in heaven and in the earth?
han, som stiger dybt ned for at se, i Himlene og paa Jorden;
7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the needy from the dunghill;
han, som oprejser den ringe af Støvet, som ophøjer en fattig af Skarnet
8 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
for at sætte ham hos Fyrster, hos sit Folks Fyrster;
9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [and to be] a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
han, som gør, at den ufrugtbare i Huset kommer til at bo som en glad Barnemoder. Halleluja.
