Psalms 135
1 Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh’s name! Praise him, you servants of Yahweh,
Halleluja! Pris Herrens navn, pris det, I HERRENs Tjenere,
2 you who stand in Yahweh’s house, in the courts of our God’s house.
som står i HERRENs Hus, i vor Guds Huses Forgårde!
3 Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good. Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.
Pris HERREN, thi god er HERREN, lovsyng hans Navn, thi lifligt er det.
4 For Yah has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel for his own possession.
Thi HERREN udvalgte Jakob, Israel til sin Ejendom.
5 For I know that Yahweh is great, that our Lord is above all gods.
Ja, jeg ved, at HERREN er stor, vor Herre er større end alle Guder.
6 Whatever Yahweh pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps.
HERREN gør alt, hvad han vil, i Himlene og på Jorden, i Have og alle Verdensdyb.
7 He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings with the rain. He brings the 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 He struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animal.
han, som slog Ægyptens førstefødte, både Mennesker og Kvæg,
9 He sent signs and wonders into the middle of you, Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants.
og sendte Tegn og Undere i din Midte, Ægypten, mod Farao og alle hans Folk;
10 He struck many nations, and killed mighty kings—
han, som fældede store Folk og veg så mægtige Konger,
11 Sihon king of the Amorites, 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 for a heritage, a heritage to Israel, his people.
og gav deres Land i Eje, i Eje til Israel, hans Folk.
13 Your name, Yahweh, endures forever; your renown, Yahweh, throughout all generations.
HERRE, dit Navn er evigt, din Ihukommelse, HERRE, fra Slægt til Slægt,
14 For Yahweh will judge his people and have 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 can’t speak. They have eyes, but they can’t see.
de har Mund, men taler ikke, Øjne, men ser dog ej;
17 They have ears, but they can’t hear, neither is there any breath in their mouths.
de har Ører, men hører ikke, ej heller er der Ånde i deres Mund.
18 Those who make them will be like them, yes, everyone who trusts in them.
Som dem skal de, der laved dem, blive enhver, som stoler på dem.
19 House of Israel, praise Yahweh! House of Aaron, praise Yahweh!
Lov HERREN, Israels Hus, lov HERREN, Arons Hus,
20 House of Levi, praise Yahweh! You who fear Yahweh, praise Yahweh!
lov HERREN, Levis Hus, lov HERREN, I, som frygter HERREN!
21 Blessed be Yahweh from Zion, who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise Yah!
Fra Zion være HERREN lovet, han, som bor i Jerusalem!
