Salme 146

1 Halleluja! Pris HERREN, min Sjæl!

Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, my soul.

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

While I live, I will praise the LORD. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

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

Don’t put your trust in princes, in a son of man in whom there is no help.

4 Hans Ånd går bort, han bliver til Jord igen, hans Råd er bristet samme Dag.

His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.

5 Salig den, hvis Hjælp er Jakobs Gud, hvis Håb står til HERREN hans Gud,

Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD, his God,

6 som skabte Himmel og Jord, Havet og alf, hvad de rummer, som evigt bevarer sin Trofasthed

who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever;

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

who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners.

8 HERREN åbner de blindes Øjne, HERREN rejser de bøjede, HERREN elsker de retfærdige,

The LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD raises up those who are bowed down. The LORD loves the righteous.

9 HERREN vogter de fremmede, opholder faderløse og Enker, men gudløses Vej gør han kroget.

The LORD preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but he turns the way of the wicked upside down.

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

The LORD will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD!
