1Halleluja! Pris Herrens navn, pris det, I HERRENs Tjenere,
1Praise ye Jah! Praise ye the name of Jehovah, Praise, ye servants of Jehovah,
2som står i HERRENs Hus, i vor Guds Huses Forgårde!
2Who are standing in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of the house of our God.
3Pris HERREN, thi god er HERREN, lovsyng hans Navn, thi lifligt er det.
3Praise ye Jah! for Jehovah [is] good, Sing praise to His name, for [it is] pleasant.
4Thi HERREN udvalgte Jakob, Israel til sin Ejendom.
4For Jacob hath Jah chosen for Himself, Israel for His peculiar treasure.
5Ja, jeg ved, at HERREN er stor, vor Herre er større end alle Guder.
5For I have known that great [is] Jehovah, Yea, our Lord [is] above all gods.
6HERREN gør alt, hvad han vil, i Himlene og på Jorden, i Have og alle Verdensdyb.
6All that Jehovah pleased He hath done, In the heavens and in earth, In the seas and all deep places,
7Han lader Skyer stige op fra Jordens Ende, får Lynene til at give Regn, sender Stormen ud fra sine Forrådskamre;
7Causing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, Lightnings for the rain He hath made, Bringing forth wind from His treasures.
8han, som slog Ægyptens førstefødte, både Mennesker og Kvæg,
8Who smote the first-born of Egypt, From man unto beast.
9og sendte Tegn og Undere i din Midte, Ægypten, mod Farao og alle hans Folk;
9He sent tokens and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, On Pharaoh and on all his servants.
10han, som fældede store Folk og veg så mægtige Konger,
10Who smote many nations, and slew strong kings,
11Amoriternes konge Sion og Basans Konge Og, og alle Kana'ans Riger
11Even Sihon king of the Amorite, And Og king of Bashan, And all kingdoms of Canaan.
12og gav deres Land i Eje, i Eje til Israel, hans Folk.
12And He gave their land an inheritance, An inheritance to Israel His people,
13HERRE, dit Navn er evigt, din Ihukommelse, HERRE, fra Slægt til Slægt,
13O Jehovah, Thy name [is] to the age, O Jehovah, Thy memorial to all generations.
14thi Ret skaffer HERREN sit Folk og ynkes over sine Tjenere.
14For Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants comforteth Himself.
15Folkenes Billeder er Sølv og Guld, Værk af Menneskehænder;
15The idols of the nations [are] silver and gold, Work of the hands of man.
16de har Mund, men taler ikke, Øjne, men ser dog ej;
16A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,
17de har Ører, men hører ikke, ej heller er der Ånde i deres Mund.
17Ears they have, and they give not ear, Nose — there is no breath in their mouth!
18Som dem skal de, der laved dem, blive enhver, som stoler på dem.
18Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.
19Lov HERREN, Israels Hus, lov HERREN, Arons Hus,
19O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah, O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah,
20lov HERREN, Levis Hus, lov HERREN, I, som frygter HERREN!
20O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah, Those fearing Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.
21Fra Zion være HERREN lovet, han, som bor i Jerusalem!
21Blessed [is] Jehovah from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem — praise ye Jah!
