Psaltaren 135
1 Halleluja. Lofver Herrans Namn; lofver, I Herrans tjenare;
Praise Yahweh. Praise the name of Yahweh. Praise him, you servants of Yahweh,
2 I som stån i Herrans hus, uti vår Guds gårdar.
you who stand in Yahweh's house, in the courtyards of the house of our God.
3 Lofver Herran, ty Herren är god; lofsjunger hans Namn, ty det är ljufligit.
Praise Yahweh, for he is good; sing praises to his name, for it is pleasant to do so.
4 Ty Herren hafver utvalt sig Jacob; Israel till sin egendom.
For Yahweh has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel as his possession.
5 Ty jag vet, att Herren är stor; och vår Herre för alla gudar.
I know that Yahweh 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;
Whatever Yahweh desires, he does in heaven, on earth, in the seas and all the ocean depths.
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 brings the clouds from far away, making lightning bolts accompany the rain and bringing the wind out of his storehouse.
8 Den der förstfödingen slog uti Egypten, både af menniskor och af boskap;
He killed the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animals.
9 Och lät sina tecken och under komma öfver dig, Egypti land, öfver Pharao och alla hans tjenare;
He sent signs and wonders into your midst, Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
10 Den mång folk slog, och drap mägtiga Konungar:
He attacked many nations and killed mighty kings,
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.
He gave us their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.
13 Herre, ditt Namn varar i evighet; din åminnelse, Herre, varar förutan ända.
Your name, Yahweh, endures forever; your renown, Yahweh, endures throughout all generations.
14 Ty Herren skall döma sitt folk, och vara sina tjenare nådelig.
For Yahweh defends his people and has compassion on his servants.
15 De Hedningars gudar äro silfver och guld, med menniskors händer gjorde.
The nations' idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
16 De hafva mun, och tala intet; de hafva ögon, och se intet.
Those idols have mouths, but they do not speak; 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 they do not hear, nor is there 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, as is everyone who trusts in them.
19 Israels hus lofve Herran; lofver Herran, I af Aarons hus.
Descendants of Israel, bless Yahweh; descendants of Aaron, bless Yahweh.
20 I af Levi hus, lofver Herran; I som frukten Herran, lofver Herran.
Descendants of Levi, bless Yahweh; you who honor Yahweh, bless Yahweh.
21 Lofvad vare Herren af Zion, den i Jerusalem bor. Halleluja.
Blessed be Yahweh in Zion, he who lives in Jerusalem. Praise Yahweh.
