Psalms 146
1 Praise Yahweh! With my whole inner being I will praise Yahweh.
Halleluja! Pris HERREN, min Sjæl!
2 I will praise Yahweh as long as I am alive; I will sing to praise my God for [the rest of] my life.
Jeg vil prise HERREN hele mit Liv, lovsynge min Gud, saa længe jeg lever.
3 [You people], do not trust in your leaders; do not trust humans because they cannot save/rescue you [from your difficulties/problems].
Sæt ikke eders Lid til Fyrster, til et Menneskebarn, der ikke kan hjælpe!
4 And when they die, their corpses [decay and] become soil again. After they die, they can no longer do the things that they planned to do.
Hans Aand gaar bort, han bliver til Jord igen, hans Raad er bristet samme Dag.
5 But those whose helper is the God whom Jacob [worshiped] are happy. The one whom they confidently expect [to help them] is Yahweh, their God.
Salig den, hvis Hjælp er Jakobs Gud, hvis Haab staar til HERREN hans Gud,
6 He is the one who created heaven and the earth and the oceans and all [the creatures] that are in them. He always does what he has promised to do.
som skabte Himmel og Jord, Havet og alt, hvad de rummer, som evigt bevarer sin Trofasthed
7 He decides matters fairly for those who are (treated unfairly/oppressed), and he provides food for those who are hungry. He frees those who are in prison.
og skaffer de undertrykte Ret, som giver de sultne Brød! HERREN løser de fangne,
8 Yahweh enables those who are blind to see again. He lifts up those who have fallen down. He loves righteous [people].
HERREN aabner de blindes Øjne, HERREN rejser de bøjede, HERREN elsker de retfærdige,
9 Yahweh takes care of those from other countries who live in our land, and he helps widows and orphans. But he gets rid of wicked [people].
HERREN vogter de fremmede, opholder faderløse og Enker, men gudløses Vej gør han kroget.
10 Yahweh will [continue to] be our king forever; you people of Israel, your God will rule forever! Praise Yahweh!
HERREN er Konge for evigt, din Gud, o Zion, fra Slægt til Slægt. Halleluja!
