Salme 115

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

Not unto us, O Yahweh, not unto us, —but, unto thine own Name, give glory, concerning thy lovingkindness, concerning thy faithfulness.

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

Wherefore should the nations say, Pray where is their God?

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

When, our God, is in the heavens, Whatsoever he pleased, hath he done.

4 Deres Billeder er Sølv og Guld, Værk af Menneskehænder;

Their idols, are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men, —

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

A mouth, have they, but they speak not, Eyes, have they, but they see not;

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

Ears, have they, but they hear not, A nose, have they, but they smell not:

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

Their hands! but they feel not Their feet! but they walk not, No sound make they in their throat.

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

Like unto them, shall be they who make them, Every one who trusteth in them.

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

O Israel! trust thou in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!

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

O house of Aaron! trust ye in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!

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

Ye that revere Yahweh! trust in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!

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

Yahweh, hath remembered us, he will bless—He will bless the house of Israel, He will bless the house of Aaron;

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

He will bless them who revere Yahweh, the small with the great.

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

Yahweh multiply you, You, and your children.

15 velsignet er I af HERREN, Himlens og Jordens Skaber.

Blessed are ye of Yahweh, who made the heavens and the earth:

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

As for the heavens, the heavens, belong to Yahweh, but the earth, hath he given to the sons of men.

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

The dead, cannot praise Yah, nor any that go down into silence;

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

But, we, will bless Yah, from henceforth even unto times age-abiding. Praise ye Yah.
