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

1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us,But to Your name give gloryBecause of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth.

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

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

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

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

4 Deres Billeder er Sølv og Guld, Værk af Menneskehænder;

4 Their idols are silver and gold,The work of man’s hands.

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

5 They have mouths, but they cannot speak;They have eyes, but they cannot see;

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

6 They have ears, but they cannot hear;They have noses, but they cannot smell;

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

7 They have hands, but they cannot feel;They have feet, but they cannot walk;They cannot make a sound with their throat.

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

8 Those who make them will become like them,Everyone who trusts in them.

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

9 O Israel, trust in the Lord;He is their help and their shield.

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

10 O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord;He is their help and their shield.

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

11 You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord;He is their help and their shield.

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

12 The Lord has been mindful of us; He will bless us;He will bless the house of Israel;He will bless the house of Aaron.

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

13 He will bless those who fear the Lord,The small together with the great.

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

14 May the Lord give you increase,You and your children.

15 velsignet er I af HERREN, Himlens og Jordens Skaber.

15 May you be blessed of the Lord,Maker of heaven and earth.

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

16 The heavens are the heavens of the Lord,But the earth He has given to the sons of men.

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

17 The dead do not praise the Lord,Nor do any who go down into silence;

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

18 But as for us, we will bless the LordFrom this time forth and forever.Praise the Lord!
