Psalms 146

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

Halleluja! Pris HERREN, min Sjæl!

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

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

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

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

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

Hans Aand gaar bort, han bliver til Jord igen, hans Raad er bristet samme Dag.

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

Salig den, hvis Hjælp er Jakobs Gud, hvis Haab staar 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 skabte Himmel og Jord, Havet og alt, hvad de rummer, som evigt bevarer sin Trofasthed

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

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

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

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

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