< Psaltaren 135 >

1 Halleluja. Lofver Herrans Namn; lofver, I Herrans tjenare;
Praise ye the LORD! 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 who 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.
Praise ye the LORD, for the LORD is good; Praise his name, for he is kind!
4 Ty Herren hafver utvalt sig Jacob; Israel till sin egendom.
For the LORD chose Jacob for himself, And Israel for his own possession.
5 Ty jag vet, att Herren är stor; och vår Herre för alla gudar.
I know that the LORD is great; 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;
All that the LORD pleaseth, that he doeth, In heaven and upon earth, In the sea, and in all 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 the clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; He maketh lightnings for the rain; He bringeth the wind from his store-houses.
8 Den der förstfödingen slog uti Egypten, både af menniskor och af boskap;
He smote the first-born of Egypt, Both of man and beast.
9 Och lät sina tecken och under komma öfver dig, Egypti land, öfver Pharao och alla hans tjenare;
He sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt! Against Pharaoh and all his servants!
10 Den mång folk slog, och drap mägtiga Konungar:
He smote many nations, And slew mighty kings;
11 Sihon, de Amoreers Konung, och Og, Konungen i Basan, och all Konungarike i Canaan;
Sihon, the king of the Amorites, And Og, the king of Bashan, And all the kings of Canaan;
12 Och gaf deras land till arfs, till arfs sino folke Israel.
And gave their land for an inheritance, For an inheritance to Israel, his people.
13 Herre, ditt Namn varar i evighet; din åminnelse, Herre, varar förutan ända.
Thy name, O LORD! endureth for ever; Thy memorial, O LORD! to all generations!
14 Ty Herren skall döma sitt folk, och vara sina tjenare nådelig.
For the LORD judgeth his people, And hath compassion on his servants.
15 De Hedningars gudar äro silfver och guld, med menniskors händer gjorde.
The idols 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 they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not.
17 De hafva öron, och höra intet, och ingen ande är i deras mun.
They have ears, but they hear not; And there is no breath in their mouths.
18 De som sådana göra, äro lika så; alle de som hoppas på dem.
They that make them are like them; So is every one that trusteth in them.
19 Israels hus lofve Herran; lofver Herran, I af Aarons hus.
Praise the LORD, O house of Israel! Praise the LORD, O house of Aaron!
20 I af Levi hus, lofver Herran; I som frukten Herran, lofver Herran.
Praise the LORD, O house of Levi! Ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD!
21 Lofvad vare Herren af Zion, den i Jerusalem bor. Halleluja.
Praised be the LORD out of Zion, He that dwelleth in Jerusalem! Praise ye the LORD!
