¹Halleluja! Ja, det er godt at lovsynge vor Gud, ja, det er lifligt, lovsang sømmer sig.

¹Praise ye Jah! For [it is] good to praise our God, For pleasant — comely [is] praise.

²Herren bygger Jerusalem, han samler de spredte af Israel,

²Building Jerusalem [is] Jehovah, The driven away of Israel He gathereth.

³han læger dem, hvis Hjerte er sønderknust, og forbinder deres Sår;

³Who is giving healing to the broken of heart, And is binding up their griefs.

⁴han fastsætter Stjemernes Tal og giver dem alle Navn.

⁴Appointing the number of the stars, To all them He giveth names.

⁵Vor Herre er stor og vældig, hans Indsigt er uden Mål;

⁵Great [is] our Lord, and abundant in power, Of His understanding there is no narration.

⁶HERREN holder de ydmyge oppe, til Jorden bøjer han gudløse.

⁶Jehovah is causing the meek to stand, Making low the wicked unto the earth.

⁷Syng for HERREN med Tak, leg for vor Gud på Citer!

⁷Answer ye to Jehovah with thanksgiving, Sing ye to our God with a harp.

⁸Han dækker Himlen med Skyer, sørger for Regn til Jorden, lader Græs spire frem på Bjergene og Urter til Menneskers Brug;

⁸Who is covering the heavens with clouds, Who is preparing for the earth rain, Who is causing grass to spring up [on] mountains,

⁹Føde giver han Kvæget og Ravneunger, som skriger;

⁹Giving to the beast its food, To the young of the ravens that call.

¹⁰hans Hu står ikke til stærke Heste, han har ikke Behag i rapfodet Mand;

¹⁰Not in the might of the horse doth He delight, Not in the legs of a man is He pleased.

¹¹HERREN har Behag i dem, der frygter ham, dem, der bier på hans Miskundhed.

¹¹Jehovah is pleased with those fearing Him, With those waiting for His kindness.

¹²Lovpris HERREN, Jerusalem, pris, o Zion, din Gud!

¹²Glorify, O Jerusalem, Jehovah, Praise thy God, O Zion.

¹³Thi han gør dine Portstænger stærke, velsigner dine Børn i din Midte;

¹³For He did strengthen the bars of thy gates, He hath blessed thy sons in thy midst.

¹⁴dine Landemærker giver han Fred, mætter dig med Hvedens Fedme;

¹⁴Who is making thy border peace, [With] the fat of wheat He satisfieth Thee.

¹⁵han sender sit Bud til Jorden, hastigt løber hans Ord,

¹⁵Who is sending forth His saying [on] earth, Very speedily doth His word run.

¹⁶han lader Sne falde ned som Uld, som Aske spreder han Rim,

¹⁶Who is giving snow like wool, Hoar-frost as ashes He scattereth.

¹⁷som Brødsmuler sender han Hagl, Vandene stivner af Kulde fra ham;

¹⁷Casting forth His ice like morsels, Before His cold who doth stand?

¹⁸han sender sit Ord og smelter dem, de strømmer, når han rejser sit Vejr.

¹⁸He sendeth forth His word and melteth them, He causeth His wind to blow — the waters flow.

¹⁹Han kundgør sit Ord for Jakob, sine Vedtægter og Lovbud for Israel.

¹⁹Declaring His words to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel.

²⁰Så gjorde han ikke mod andre Folk, dem kundgør han ingen Lovbud. Halleluja!

²⁰He hath not done so to any nation, As to judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye Jah!
