Salme 33
1 Jubler i Herren, I retfærdige, for de oprigtige sømmer sig Lovsang;
Rejoice in Jehovah, O ye righteous: Praise is comely for the upright.
2 lov HERREN med Citer, tak ham til tistrenget Harpe;
Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp: Sing praises unto him with the psaltery of ten strings.
3 en ny Sang synge I ham, leg lifligt på Strenge til Jubelråb!
Sing unto him a new song; Play skilfully with a loud noise.
4 Thi sandt er HERRENs Ord, og al hans Gerning er trofast;
For the word of Jehovah is right; And all his work is [done] in faithfulness.
5 han elsker Retfærd og Ret, af HERRENs Miskundhed er Jorden fuld.
He loveth righteousness and justice: The earth is full of the lovingkindness of Jehovah.
6 Ved HERRENs Ord blev Himlen skabt og al dens Hær ved hans Munds Ånde.
By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, And all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7 Som i Vandsæk samled han Havets Vand, lagde Dybets Vande i Forrådskamre.
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap: He layeth up the deeps in store-houses.
8 Al Jorden skal frygte for HERREN, Alverdens Beboere skælve for ham;
Let all the earth fear Jehovah: Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 thi han talede, så skete det, han bød, så stod det der.
For he spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.
10 HERREN kuldkasted Folkenes Råd, gjorde Folkeslags Tanker til intet;
Jehovah bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought; He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
11 HERRENs Råd står fast for evigt, hans Hjertes Tanker fra Slægt til Slægt.
The counsel of Jehovah standeth fast for ever, The thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 Saligt det Folk, der har HERREN til Gud, det Folkefærd, han valgte til Arvelod!
Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, The people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13 HERREN skuer fra Himlen, ser på alle Menneskens Børn;
Jehovah looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men;
14 fra sit Højsæde holder han Øje med alle, som bor på Jorden;
From the place of his habitation he looketh forth Upon all the inhabitants of the earth,
15 han, som danned deres Hjerter til Hobe, gennemskuer alt deres Værk.
He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, That considereth all their works.
16 Ej frelses en Konge ved sin store Stridsmagt, ej fries en Helt ved sin store Kraft;
There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17 til Frelse slår Stridshesten ikke til, trods sin store Styrke redder den ikke.
A horse is a vain thing for safety; Neither doth he deliver any by his great power.
18 Men HERRENs Øje ser til gudfrygtige, til dem, der håber på Nåden,
Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, Upon them that hope in his lovingkindness;
19 for at fri deres Sjæl fra Døden og holde dem i Live i Hungerens Tid.
To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.
20 På HERREN bier vor Sjæl, han er vor Hjælp og vort Skjold;
Our soul hath waited for Jehovah: He is our help and our shield.
21 thi vort Hjerte glæder sig i ham, vi stoler på hans hellige Navn.
For our heart shall rejoice in him, Because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 Din Miskundhed være over os, HERRE, såsom vi håber på dig.
Let thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, According as we have hoped in thee.
