¹Pris Herren, påkald hans navn, gør hans Gerninger kendte blandt Folkeslag!

¹Give ye thanks to Jehovah — call ye in His name, Make known among the peoples His acts.

²Syng og spil til hans Pris, tal om alle hans Undere;

²Sing ye to Him — sing praise to Him, Meditate ye on all His wonders.

³ros jer af hans hellige Navn, eders Hjerte glæde sig, I, som søger HERREN;

³Boast yourselves in His Holy Name, The heart of those seeking Jehovah rejoiceth.

⁴spørg efter HERREN og hans magt, søg bestandig hans Åsyn;

⁴Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek ye His face continually.

⁵kom i Hu de Undere, han gjorde, hans Tegn og hans Munds Domme,

⁵Remember His wonders that He did, His signs and the judgments of His mouth.

⁶I, hans Tjener Abrahams Sæd, hans udvalgte, Jakobs Sønner!

⁶O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.

⁷Han, HERREN, er vor Gud, hans Domme når ud over Jorden;

⁷He [is] Jehovah our God, In all the earth [are] His judgments.

⁸han ihukommer for evigt sin Pagt, i tusind Slægter sit Tilsagn,

⁸He hath remembered to the age His covenant, The word He commanded to a thousand generations,

⁹Pagten, han slutted med Abraham, Eden, han tilsvor Isak;

⁹That He hath made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,

¹⁰han holdt den i Hævd som Ret for Jakob, en evig Pagt for Israel,

¹⁰And doth establish it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel — a covenant age-during,

¹¹idet han sagde: "Dig giver jeg Kana'ans Land som eders Arvelod."

¹¹Saying, `To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,`

¹²Da de kun var en liden Hob, kun få og fremmede der,

¹²In their being few in number, But a few, and sojourners in it.

¹³og vandrede fra Folk til Folk, fra et Rige til et andet,

¹³And they go up and down, from nation unto nation, From a kingdom unto another people.

¹⁴tillod han ingen at volde dem Men, men tugted for deres Skyld Konger

¹⁴He hath not suffered any to oppress them And He reproveth for their sakes kings.

¹⁵"Rør ikke mine Salvede, gør ikke mine Profeter ondt!"

¹⁵`Strike not against Mine anointed, And to My prophets do not evil.`

¹⁶Hungersnød kaldte han frem over Landet, hver Brødets Støttestav brød han;

¹⁶And He calleth a famine on the land, The whole staff of bread He hath broken.

¹⁷han sendte forud for dem en Mand, Josef solgtes som Træl;

¹⁷He hath sent before them a man, For a servant hath Joseph been sold.

¹⁸de tvang hans Fødder med Lænker, han kom i Lænker af Jern,

¹⁸They have afflicted with fetters his feet, Iron hath entered his soul,

¹⁹indtil hans Ord blev opfyldt; ved HERRENs Ord stod han Prøven igennem.

¹⁹Till the time of the coming of His word The saying of Jehovah hath tried him.

²⁰På Kongens Bud blev han fri, Folkenes Hersker lod ham løs:

²⁰The king hath sent, and looseth him, The ruler of the peoples, and draweth him out.

²¹han tog ham til Herre for sit Hus, til Hersker over alt sit Gods;

²¹He hath made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions.

²²han styred hans Øverster efter sin Vilje og viste hans Ældste til Rette.

²²To bind his chiefs at his pleasure, And his elders he maketh wise.

²³Og Israel kom til Ægypten, Jakob boede som Gæst i Kamiternes Land.

²³And Israel cometh in to Egypt, And Jacob hath sojourned in the land of Ham.

²⁴Han lod sit Folk blive såre frugtbart og stærkere end dets Fjender;

²⁴And He maketh His people very fruitful, And maketh it mightier than its adversaries.

²⁵han vendte deres Sind til Had mod sit Folk og til Træskhed imod sine Tjenere.

²⁵He turned their heart to hate His people, To conspire against His servants.

²⁶Da sendte han Moses, sin Tjener, og Aron, sin udvalgte Mand;

²⁶He hath sent Moses His servant, Aaron whom He had fixed on.

²⁷han gjorde sine Tegn i Ægypten og Undere i Kamiternes Land;

²⁷They have set among them the matters of His signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.

²⁸han sendte Mørke, så blev det mørkt, men de ænsede ikke hans Ord;

²⁸He hath sent darkness, and it is dark, And they have not provoked His word.

²⁹han gjorde deres Vande til Blod og slog deres Fisk ihjel;

²⁹He hath turned their waters to blood, And putteth to death their fish.

³⁰af Frøer vrimlede Landet, selv i Kongens Sale var de;

³⁰Teemed hath their land [with] frogs, In the inner chambers of their kings.

³¹han talede, så kom der Bremser og Myg i alt deres Land;

³¹He hath said, and the beetle cometh, Lice into all their border.

³²han sendte dem Hagl for Regn og luende Ild i Landet;

³²He hath made their showers hail, A flaming fire [is] in their land.

³³han slog både Vinstok og Figen og splintrede Træerne i deres Land;

³³And He smiteth their vine and their fig, And shivereth the trees of their border.

³⁴han talede, så kom der Græshopper, Springere uden Tal,

³⁴He hath said, and the locust cometh, And the cankerworm — innumerable,

³⁵de åd alt Græs i Landet, de åd deres Jords Afgrøde;

³⁵And it consumeth every herb in their land, And it consumeth the fruit of their ground.

³⁶alt førstefødt i Landet slog han, Førstegrøden af al deres Kraft;

³⁶And He smiteth every first-born in their land, The first-fruit of all their strength,

³⁷han førte dem ud med Sølv og Guld, ikke een i hans Stammer snubled

³⁷And bringeth them out with silver and gold, And there is not in its tribes a feeble one.

³⁸Ægypterne glæded sig, da de drog bort, thi de var grebet af Rædsel for dem.

³⁸Rejoiced hath Egypt in their going forth, For their fear had fallen upon them.

³⁹Han bredte en Sky som Skjul og Ild til at lyse i Natten;

³⁹He hath spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to enlighten the night.

⁴⁰de krævede, han bragte Vagtler, med Himmelbrød mættede han dem;

⁴⁰They have asked, and He bringeth quails, And [with] bread of heaven satisfieth them.

⁴¹han åbnede Klippen, og Vand strømmede ud, det løb som en Flod i Ørkenen.

⁴¹He hath opened a rock, and waters issue, They have gone on in dry places — a river.

⁴²Thi han kom sit hellige Ord i Hu til Abraham, sin Tjener;

⁴²For He hath remembered His holy word, With Abraham His servant,

⁴³han lod sit Folk drage ud med Fryd, sine udvalgte under Jubel;

⁴³And He bringeth forth His people with joy, With singing His chosen ones.

⁴⁴han gav dem Folkenes Lande, de fik Folkeslags Gods i Eje.

⁴⁴And He giveth to them the lands of nations, And the labour of peoples they possess,

⁴⁵Derfor skulde de holde hans Bud og efterkomme hans Love. Halleluja!

⁴⁵That they may observe His statutes, And His laws may keep. Praise ye Jehovah!
