¹(Til Sangmesteren. Af Koras Sønner. En Salme.) Du var nådig, HERRE, imod dit land du vendte Jakobs Skæbne,

¹To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Thou hast accepted, O Jehovah, Thy land, Thou hast turned [to] the captivity of Jacob.

²tog Skylden bort fra dit Folk og skjulte al deres Synd. - Sela.

²Thou hast borne away the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.

³Du lod al din Vrede fare, tvang din glødende Harme.

³Thou hast gathered up all Thy wrath, Thou hast turned back from the fierceness of Thine anger.

⁴Vend tilbage, vor Frelses Gud, hør op med din Uvilje mod os!

⁴Turn back [to] us, O God of our salvation, And make void Thine anger with us.

⁵Vil du vredes på os for evigt, holde fast ved din Harme fra Slægt til Slægt?

⁵To the age art Thou angry against us? Dost Thou draw out Thine anger To generation and generation?

⁶Vil du ikke skænke os Liv På ny, så dit Folk kan glæde sig i dig!

⁶Dost Thou not turn back? Thou revivest us, And Thy people do rejoice in Thee.

⁷Lad os skue din Miskundhed, HERRE, din Frelse give du os!

⁷Show us, O Jehovah, thy kindness, And Thy salvation Thou dost give to us.

⁸Jeg vil høre, hvad Gud HERREN taler! Visselig taler han Fred til sit Folk og til sine fromme og til dem, der vender deres Hjerte til ham;

⁸I hear what God Jehovah speaketh, For He speaketh peace unto His people, And unto His saints, and they turn not back to folly.

⁹ja, nær er hans Frelse for dem, som frygter ham, snart skal Herlighed bo i vort Land;

⁹Only, near to those fearing Him [is] His salvation, That honour may dwell in our land.

¹⁰Miskundhed og Sandhed mødes, Retfærd og Fred skal kysse hinanden;

¹⁰Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed,

¹¹af Jorden spirer Sandhed frem, fra Himlen skuer Retfærd ned.

¹¹Truth from the earth springeth up, And righteousness from heaven looketh out,

¹²Derhos giver HERREN Lykke, sin Afgrøde giver vort Land;

¹²Jehovah also giveth that which is good, And our land doth give its increase.

¹³Retfærd vandrer foran ham og følger også hans Fjed.

¹³Righteousness before Him goeth, And maketh His footsteps for a way!
