1 Halleluja! Pris Herrens navn, pris det, I HERRENs Tjenere,

1 Praise the Lord!Praise the name of the Lord;Praise Him, O servants of the Lord,

2 som står i HERRENs Hus, i vor Guds Huses Forgårde!

2 You who stand in the house of the Lord,In the courts of the house of our God!

3 Pris HERREN, thi god er HERREN, lovsyng hans Navn, thi lifligt er det.

3 Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good;Sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.

4 Thi HERREN udvalgte Jakob, Israel til sin Ejendom.

4 For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself,Israel for His own possession.

5 Ja, jeg ved, at HERREN er stor, vor Herre er større end alle Guder.

5 For I know that the Lord is greatAnd that our Lord is above all gods.

6 HERREN gør alt, hvad han vil, i Himlene og på Jorden, i Have og alle Verdensdyb.

6 Whatever the Lord pleases, He does,In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps.

7 Han lader Skyer stige op fra Jordens Ende, får Lynene til at give Regn, sender Stormen ud fra sine Forrådskamre;

7 He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth;Who makes lightnings for the rain,Who brings forth the wind from His treasuries.

8 han, som slog Ægyptens førstefødte, både Mennesker og Kvæg,

8 He smote the firstborn of Egypt,Both of man and beast.

9 og sendte Tegn og Undere i din Midte, Ægypten, mod Farao og alle hans Folk;

9 He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt,Upon Pharaoh and all his servants.

10 han, som fældede store Folk og veg så mægtige Konger,

10 He smote many nationsAnd slew mighty kings,

11 Amoriternes konge Sion og Basans Konge Og, og alle Kana'ans Riger

11 Sihon, king of the Amorites,And Og, king of Bashan,And all the kingdoms of Canaan;

12 og gav deres Land i Eje, i Eje til Israel, hans Folk.

12 And He gave their land as a heritage,A heritage to Israel His people.

13 HERRE, dit Navn er evigt, din Ihukommelse, HERRE, fra Slægt til Slægt,

13 Your name, O Lord, is everlasting,Your remembrance, O Lord, throughout all generations.

14 thi Ret skaffer HERREN sit Folk og ynkes over sine Tjenere.

14 For the Lord will judge His peopleAnd will have compassion on His servants.

15 Folkenes Billeder er Sølv og Guld, Værk af Menneskehænder;

15 The idols of the nations are but silver and gold,The work of man’s hands.

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

16 They have mouths, but they do not speak;They have eyes, but they do not see;

17 de har Ører, men hører ikke, ej heller er der Ånde i deres Mund.

17 They have ears, but they do not hear,Nor is there any breath at all in their mouths.

18 Som dem skal de, der laved dem, blive enhver, som stoler på dem.

18 Those who make them will be like them,Yes, everyone who trusts in them.

19 Lov HERREN, Israels Hus, lov HERREN, Arons Hus,

19 O house of Israel, bless the Lord;O house of Aaron, bless the Lord;

20 lov HERREN, Levis Hus, lov HERREN, I, som frygter HERREN!

20 O house of Levi, bless the Lord;You who revere the Lord, bless the Lord.

21 Fra Zion være HERREN lovet, han, som bor i Jerusalem! 

21 Blessed be the Lord from Zion,Who dwells in Jerusalem.Praise the Lord!
