Psalms 146

1 Praise ye Jah! Praise, O my soul, Jehovah.

Min Sjæl! lov Herren!

2 I praise Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.

Jeg vil love Herren, medens jeg lever, jeg vil synge min Gud Psalmer, medens jeg er til.

3 Trust not in princes — in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance.

Forlader eder ikke paa Fyrster, paa et Menneskes Barn, hos hvem der ingen Frelse er.

4 His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.

Hans Aand udfarer, han vender tilbage til sit Støv; paa den Dag er det forbi med hans stolte Anslag.

5 O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope [is] on Jehovah his God,

Salig er den, hvis Hjælp Jakobs Gud er, hvis Haab er til Herren hans Gud;

6 Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that [is] in them, Who is keeping truth to the age,

som gjorde Himmelen og Jorden, Havet og alt det, som der er i dem, han, som bliver Sandhed tro evindelig;

7 Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry.

som skaffer dem Ret, der lide Vold, som giver de hungrige Brød; Herren løser de bundne.

8 Jehovah is loosing the prisoners, Jehovah is opening (the eyes of) the blind, Jehovah is raising the bowed down, Jehovah is loving the righteous,

Herren aabner de blindes Øjne; Herren oprejser de nedbøjede; Herren elsker de retfærdige.

9 Jehovah is preserving the strangers, The fatherless and widow He causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked He turneth upside down.

Herren bevarer de fremmede; han opholder faderløse og Enker, men forvender de ugudeliges Vej.

10 Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise ye Jah!

Herren skal regere evindelig, din Gud, o Zion! fra Slægt til Slægt. Halleluja!
