Psalms 135
1 Hallelujah! Praise the name of Jehovah; praise, ye servants of Jehovah,
Halleluja! Pris Herrens navn, pris det, I HERRENs Tjenere,
2 Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, in the courts of the house of our God.
som står i HERRENs Hus, i vor Guds Huses Forgårde!
3 Praise ye Jah; for Jehovah is good: sing psalms unto his name; for it is pleasant.
Pris HERREN, thi god er HERREN, lovsyng hans Navn, thi lifligt er det.
4 For Jah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, Israel for his own possession.
Thi HERREN udvalgte Jakob, Israel til sin Ejendom.
5 For I know that Jehovah is great, and our Lord is above all gods.
Ja, jeg ved, at HERREN er stor, vor Herre er større end alle Guder.
6 Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, he hath done in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps;
HERREN gør alt, hvad han vil, i Himlene og på Jorden, i Have og alle Verdensdyb.
7 Who causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; who maketh lightnings for the rain; who bringeth the wind out of his treasuries:
Han lader Skyer stige op fra Jordens Ende, får Lynene til at give Regn, sender Stormen ud fra sine Forrådskamre;
8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast;
han, som slog Ægyptens førstefødte, både Mennesker og Kvæg,
9 Who sent signs and miracles into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants;
og sendte Tegn og Undere i din Midte, Ægypten, mod Farao og alle hans Folk;
10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings,
han, som fældede store Folk og veg så mægtige Konger,
11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;
Amoriternes konge Sion og Basans Konge Og, og alle Kana'ans Riger
12 And gave their land for an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people.
og gav deres Land i Eje, i Eje til Israel, hans Folk.
13 Thy name, O Jehovah, is for ever; thy memorial, O Jehovah, from generation to generation.
HERRE, dit Navn er evigt, din Ihukommelse, HERRE, fra Slægt til Slægt,
14 For Jehovah will judge his people, and will repent in favour of his servants.
thi Ret skaffer HERREN sit Folk og ynkes over sine Tjenere.
15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:
Folkenes Billeder er Sølv og Guld, Værk af Menneskehænder;
16 They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;
de har Mund, men taler ikke, Øjne, men ser dog ej;
17 They have ears, and they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth.
de har Ører, men hører ikke, ej heller er der Ånde i deres Mund.
18 They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them.
Som dem skal de, der laved dem, blive enhver, som stoler på dem.
19 House of Israel, bless ye Jehovah; house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah;
Lov HERREN, Israels Hus, lov HERREN, Arons Hus,
20 House of Levi, bless ye Jehovah; ye that fear Jehovah, bless Jehovah.
lov HERREN, Levis Hus, lov HERREN, I, som frygter HERREN!
21 Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem! Hallelujah!
Fra Zion være HERREN lovet, han, som bor i Jerusalem!
