< Psalms 135 >

1 Praise ye Yah, Praise ye the Name of Yahweh, Praise, O ye servants of Yahweh;
Halleluja! Pris Herrens navn, pris det, I HERRENs Tjenere,
2 Who stand In the house of Yahweh, In the courts of the house of our God.
som står i HERRENs Hus, i vor Guds Huses Forgårde!
3 Praise ye Yah, For good is Yahweh, Sing praises to his Name, For it is full of delight;
Pris HERREN, thi god er HERREN, lovsyng hans Navn, thi lifligt er det.
4 For, Jacob, hath Yah chosen for himself, Israel, for his own treasure.
Thi HERREN udvalgte Jakob, Israel til sin Ejendom.
5 For, I, know that great is Yahweh, yea, our Lord, is beyond all gods.
Ja, jeg ved, at HERREN er stor, vor Herre er større end alle Guder.
6 Whatsoever Yahweh hath pleased, he hath done, —in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas, and all resounding deeps:
HERREN gør alt, hvad han vil, i Himlene og på Jorden, i Have og alle Verdensdyb.
7 Causing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, —Lightnings for the rain, hath he made, bringing forth wind out of his treasuries.
Han lader Skyer stige op fra Jordens Ende, får Lynene til at give Regn, sender Stormen ud fra sine Forrådskamre;
8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man, and of beast;
han, som slog Ægyptens førstefødte, både Mennesker og Kvæg,
9 Sent signs and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
og sendte Tegn og Undere i din Midte, Ægypten, mod Farao og alle hans Folk;
10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings:
han, som fældede store Folk og veg så mægtige Konger,
11 Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;
Amoriternes konge Sion og Basans Konge Og, og alle Kana'ans Riger
12 And gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.
og gav deres Land i Eje, i Eje til Israel, hans Folk.
13 O Yahweh! thy Name, is age-abiding, —O Yahweh! thy memorial, is to generation after generation.
HERRE, dit Navn er evigt, din Ihukommelse, HERRE, fra Slægt til Slægt,
14 For Yahweh will vindicate his people, —and, on his servants, have compassion.
thi Ret skaffer HERREN sit Folk og ynkes over sine Tjenere.
15 The idols of the nations, are silver and gold, the work of the hands of men:
Folkenes Billeder er Sølv og Guld, Værk af Menneskehænder;
16 A mouth, have they, but they speak not, Eyes, have they, but they see not;
de har Mund, men taler ikke, Øjne, men ser dog ej;
17 Ears, have they, but they hear not, Nose, —there is no breath in their mouth.
de har Ører, men hører ikke, ej heller er der Ånde i deres Mund.
18 Like unto them, shall be they who make them, every one who trusteth in them.
Som dem skal de, der laved dem, blive enhver, som stoler på dem.
19 O house of Israel! bless Yahweh, O house of Aaron! bless Yahweh;
Lov HERREN, Israels Hus, lov HERREN, Arons Hus,
20 O house of Levi! bless Yahweh, Ye that revere Yahweh! bless Yahweh.
lov HERREN, Levis Hus, lov HERREN, I, som frygter HERREN!
21 Blessed be Yahweh out of Zion, Who inhabiteth Jerusalem, Praise ye Yah!
Fra Zion være HERREN lovet, han, som bor i Jerusalem!
