Psalms 146

1 Praise Yahweh. Praise Yahweh, my soul.

Halleluja! Pris HERREN, min Sjæl!

2 I give praise to Yahweh with all my life; I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

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

3 Do not put your trust in princes or in mankind, in whom there is no salvation.

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

4 When a person's life's breath stops, he returns to the ground; on that day his plans end.

Hans Ånd går bort, han bliver til Jord igen, hans Råd er bristet samme Dag.

5 Blessed is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yahweh his God.

Salig den, hvis Hjælp er Jakobs Gud, hvis Håb står til HERREN hans Gud,

6 Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; he observes trustworthiness forever.

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

7 He executes justice for the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. Yahweh frees the prisoners;

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

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

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

9 Yahweh protects the foreigners in the land; he lifts up the fatherless and widow, but he opposes the wicked.

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

10 Yahweh will reign forever, your God, Zion, for all generations. Praise Yahweh.

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