Psalms 146

1 Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, my soul.

Halleluja! Pris HERREN, min Sjæl!

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

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

3 Do not put your trust in princes, in a son of man in whom there is no help.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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