Psaltaren 135
1 Halleluja. Lofver Herrans Namn; lofver, I Herrans tjenare;
Hallelujah. Praise ye the name of the Lord; praise him, O ye servants of the Lord;
2 I som stån i Herrans hus, uti vår Guds gårdar.
Ye that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Lofver Herran, ty Herren är god; lofsjunger hans Namn, ty det är ljufligit.
Hallelujah; for the Lord is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is lovely.
4 Ty Herren hafver utvalt sig Jacob; Israel till sin egendom.
For Jacob hath the Lord chosen unto himself, Israel, as his peculiar treasure.
5 Ty jag vet, att Herren är stor; och vår Herre för alla gudar.
For I well know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
6 Allt det Herren vill, det gör han, i himmelen, på jordene, i hafvet, och i all djup;
Whatsoever the Lord willeth, hath he done in the heavens, and on the earth, in the seas, and in all the deeps.
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 causeth clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with the rain; he bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries.
8 Den der förstfödingen slog uti Egypten, både af menniskor och af boskap;
[He it is] who smote the first-born of Egypt, both of man and of cattle;
9 Och lät sina tecken och under komma öfver dig, Egypti land, öfver Pharao och alla hans tjenare;
Who sent signs and wonderful tokens into the midst of thee, O Egypt, against Pharaoh, and against all his servants;
10 Den mång folk slog, och drap mägtiga Konungar:
Who smote many nations, and slew mighty kings;
11 Sihon, de Amoreers Konung, och Og, Konungen i Basan, och all Konungarike i Canaan;
Sichon the king of the Emorites, and 'Og the 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 as an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people.
13 Herre, ditt Namn varar i evighet; din åminnelse, Herre, varar förutan ända.
O Lord, thy name [endureth] for ever: O Lord, thy memorial is throughout all generations.
14 Ty Herren skall döma sitt folk, och vara sina tjenare nådelig.
For the Lord will espouse the cause of his people, and concerning his servants will he bethink himself.
15 De Hedningars gudar äro silfver och guld, med menniskors händer gjorde.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of the hands of men.
16 De hafva mun, och tala intet; de hafva ögon, och se intet.
Mouths they have, but they speak not; eyes they have, but they see not;
17 De hafva öron, och höra intet, och ingen ande är i deras mun.
Ears they have, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth.
18 De som sådana göra, äro lika så; alle de som hoppas på dem.
Like them are those that make them, every one that trusteth in them.
19 Israels hus lofve Herran; lofver Herran, I af Aarons hus.
O house of Israel, bless ye the Lord; O house of Aaron, bless ye the Lord.
20 I af Levi hus, lofver Herran; I som frukten Herran, lofver Herran.
O house of Levi, bless ye the Lord; ye that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
21 Lofvad vare Herren af Zion, den i Jerusalem bor. Halleluja.
Blessed be the Lord out of Zion, even he that resideth at Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
