Psalms 115

1 Not to us, Jehovah, not to us, but to your name be the glory, for your loving kindness and for your faithfulness.

Ikke os, o Herre, ikke os, men dit navn, det give du ære for din Miskundheds og Trofastheds Skyld!

2 Why should the nations say, "Where is their God, now?"

Hvi skal Folkene sige: "Hvor er dog deres Gud?"

3 But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.

Vor Gud, han er i Himlen; alt, hvad han vil, det gør han!

4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

Deres Billeder er Sølv og Guld, Værk af Menneskehænder;

5 They have mouths, but they do not speak. They have eyes, but they do not see.

de har Mund, men taler ikke, Øjne, men ser dog ej;

6 They have ears, but they do not hear. They have noses, but they do not smell.

de har Ører, men hører ikke, Næse men lugter dog ej;

7 They have hands, but they do not feel. They have feet, but they do not walk, neither do they speak through their throat.

de har Hænder, men føler ikke, Fødder, men går dog ej, deres Strube frembringer ikke en Lyd.

8 Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.

Som dem skal de, der lavede dem, blive, enhver, som stoler på dem!

9 Israel, trust in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.

Israel stoler på HERREN, han er deres Hjælp og Skjold;

10 House of Aaron, trust in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.

Arons Hus stoler på HERREN, han er deres Hjælp og Skjold;

11 You who fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.

de, som frygter HERREN, stoler på ham, han er deres Hjælp og Skjold.

12 Jehovah remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.

HERREN kommer os i Hu, velsigner, velsigner Israels Hus, velsigner Arons Hus,

13 He will bless those who fear Jehovah, both small and great.

velsigner dem, der frygter HERREN, og det både små og store.

14 May Jehovah increase you more and more, you and your children.

HERREN lader eder vokse i Tal, eder og eders Børn;

15 Blessed are you by Jehovah, who made heaven and earth.

velsignet er I af HERREN, Himlens og Jordens Skaber.

16 The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah; but the earth has he given to the descendants of Adam.

Himlen er HERRENs Himmel, men Jorden gav han til Menneskens Børn.

17 The dead do not praise JAH, neither any who go down into silence;

De døde priser ej HERREN, ingen af dem, der steg ned i det tavse.

18 But we will bless JAH, from this time forth and forevermore. Praise JAH.

Men vi, vi lover HERREN, fra nu og til evig Tid!
