Psalm 146 | Bibelen på hverdagsdansk

Om at sætte sin lid til Herren

1 Halleluja! Min sjæl, pris Herren!

2 Jeg vil lovprise Herren, så længe jeg lever, synge til hans ære, så længe jeg trækker vejret.

3 Stol ikke på stormænd, for mennesker kan ikke frelse jer.

4 De dør og bliver lagt i deres grav, da er det slut med alle deres planer.

5 Velsignede er de, der stoler på Israels Gud, de, der sætter deres lid til Herren.

6 Han skabte himlen og jorden, havet og alt, hvad der lever deri. Han er trofast til evig tid.

7 Han står på de undertryktes side og sørger for mad til de sultne. Han sætter fanger i frihed

8 og åbner de blindes øjne. Han løfter de nedbrudte op, han elsker dem, der gør hans vilje.

9 Han tager sig af de fremmede, viser omsorg for enker og forældreløse, men de ondes planer forpurrer han.

10 Herren skal regere for evigt! Jerusalem, din Gud er konge fra slægt til slægt! Halleluja!

English Standard Version

Put Not Your Trust in Princes

1 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul!

2 I will praise the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

3 Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

4 When his breath departs, he returns to the earth; on that very day his plans perish.

5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God,

6 who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who keeps faith forever;

7 who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets the prisoners free;

8 the Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down; the Lord loves the righteous.

9 The Lord watches over the sojourners; he upholds the widow and the fatherless, but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.

10 The Lord will reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the Lord!
