Psalms 115

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

Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.

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

Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?

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

But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.

Deres Billeder er Sølv og Guld, Værk af Menneskehænder;

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

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

They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:

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

They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:

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

They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

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

They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.

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

O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

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

O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

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

Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

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

The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.

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

He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.

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

The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.

velsignet er I af HERREN, Himlens og Jordens Skaber.

Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.

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

The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

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

The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.

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

But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.
