Psaltaren 135
1 Halleluja. Lofver Herrans Namn; lofver, I Herrans tjenare;
Let the Lord be praised. O you servants of the Lord, give praise to the name of the Lord.
2 I som stån i Herrans hus, uti vår Guds gårdar.
You who are in the house of the Lord, and in the open spaces of the house of our God,
3 Lofver Herran, ty Herren är god; lofsjunger hans Namn, ty det är ljufligit.
Give praise to Jah, for he is good: make melody to his name, for it is pleasing.
4 Ty Herren hafver utvalt sig Jacob; Israel till sin egendom.
For the Lord has taken Jacob for himself, and Israel for his property.
5 Ty jag vet, att Herren är stor; och vår Herre för alla gudar.
I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is greater than all other gods.
6 Allt det Herren vill, det gör han, i himmelen, på jordene, i hafvet, och i all djup;
The Lord has done whatever was pleasing to him, in heaven, and on the earth, in the seas and in all the deep waters.
7 Den der låter skyarna uppgå af jordenes ända; den der ljungelden gör, samt med regnet; den der vädret utu hemlig rum komma låter;
He makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes thunder-flames for the rain; he sends out the winds from his store-houses.
8 Den der förstfödingen slog uti Egypten, både af menniskor och af boskap;
He put to death the first-fruits of Egypt, of man and of beast.
9 Och lät sina tecken och under komma öfver dig, Egypti land, öfver Pharao och alla hans tjenare;
He sent signs and wonders among you, O Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants.
10 Den mång folk slog, och drap mägtiga Konungar:
He overcame great nations, and put strong kings to death;
11 Sihon, de Amoreers Konung, och Og, Konungen i Basan, och all Konungarike i Canaan;
Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;
12 Och gaf deras land till arfs, till arfs sino folke Israel.
And gave their land for a heritage, even for a heritage to Israel his people.
13 Herre, ditt Namn varar i evighet; din åminnelse, Herre, varar förutan ända.
O Lord, your name is eternal; and the memory of you will have no end.
14 Ty Herren skall döma sitt folk, och vara sina tjenare nådelig.
For the Lord will be judge of his people's cause; his feelings will be changed to his servants.
15 De Hedningars gudar äro silfver och guld, med menniskors händer gjorde.
The images of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
16 De hafva mun, och tala intet; de hafva ögon, och se intet.
They have mouths, but no voice, they have eyes, but they do not see;
17 De hafva öron, och höra intet, och ingen ande är i deras mun.
They have ears, but no hearing; and there is no breath in their mouths.
18 De som sådana göra, äro lika så; alle de som hoppas på dem.
Those who make them are like them; and so is everyone who puts his hope in them.
19 Israels hus lofve Herran; lofver Herran, I af Aarons hus.
Give praise to the Lord, O children of Israel: give praise to the Lord, O sons of Aaron:
20 I af Levi hus, lofver Herran; I som frukten Herran, lofver Herran.
Give praise to the Lord, O sons of Levi: let all the worshippers of the Lord give him praise.
21 Lofvad vare Herren af Zion, den i Jerusalem bor. Halleluja.
Praise be to the Lord out of Zion, even to the Lord whose house is in Jerusalem, Let the Lord be praised.
