Psalms 115

1 Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.

Ikke os, Herre! ikke os, men dit Navn give du Ære for din Miskundhed, for din Sandheds Skyld.

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

Hvorfor skulle Hedningerne sige: Hvor er nu deres Gud?

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

Men vor Gud er i Himlene, han gør alt, hvad ham behager.

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

Deres Billeder ere Sølv og Guld, Menneskehænders Gerning.

5 They have mouths, but they don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see.

De have Mund, men kunne ikke tale; de have Øjne, men kunne ikke se.

6 They have ears, but they don’t hear. They have noses, but they don’t smell.

De have Øren, men kunne ikke høre; de have Næse, men kunne ikke lugte.

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

De have Hænder, men kunne ikke føle; de have Fødder, men kunne ikke gaa; de kunne ikke tale med deres Strube.

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

Ligesom de ere, saa vorde de, der gøre dem, hver den, som forlader sig paa dem.

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

Israel! forlad dig paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.

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

Arons Hus! forlader eder paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.

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

I, som frygte Herren, forlader eder paa Herren; han er deres Hjælp og deres Skjold.

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

Herren kom os i Hu, han skal velsigne, han skal velsigne Israels Hus, han skal velsigne Arons Hus.

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

Han skal velsigne dem, som frygte Herren, de smaa med de store.

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

Herren formere eder, eder og eders Børn!

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

Velsignede være I for Herren, som har gjort Himmel og Jord.

16 The heavens are Yahweh’s heavens, but he has given the earth to the children of men.

Himlene ere Herrens Himle, men Jorden gav han Menneskens Børn.

17 The dead don’t praise Yah, nor any who go down into silence,

De døde love ikke Herren, ej heller nogen af dem, som nedfare til det stille.

18 but we will bless Yah, from this time forward and forever more. Praise Yah!

Men vi, vi ville love Herren fra nu og indtil evig Tid. Halleluja!
