¹Bless Yahweh, my soul. Yahweh, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty.

¹Min sjæl, lov Herren! Herren min Gud, du er såre stor! Du er klædt i Højhed og Herlighed,

²He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.

²hyllet i Lys som en Kappe! Himlen spænder du ud som et Telt;

³He lays the beams of his rooms in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.

³du hvælver din Højsal i Vandene, gør Skyerne til din Vogn, farer frem på Vindens Vinger;

⁴He makes his messengers or, angels winds; his servants flames of fire.

⁴Vindene gør du til Sendebud, Ildsluer til dine Tjenere!

⁵He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved forever.

⁵Du fæsted Jorden på dens Grundvolde, aldrig i Evighed rokkes den;

⁶You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains.

⁶Verdensdybet hylled den til som en Klædning, Vandene stod over Bjerge.

⁷At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.

⁷For din Trusel flyede de, skræmtes bort ved din Tordenrøst,

⁸The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which you had assigned to them.

⁸for op ad Bjerge og ned i Dale til det Sted, du havde beredt dem;

⁹You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; that they don’t turn again to cover the earth.

⁹du satte en Grænse, de ej kommer over, så de ikke igen skal tilhylle Jorden.

¹⁰He sends forth springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains.

¹⁰Kilder lod du rinde i Dale, hen mellem Bjerge flød de;

¹¹They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

¹¹de læsker al Markens Vildt, Vildæsler slukker deres Tørst;

¹²The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing among the branches.

¹²over dem bygger Himlens Fugle, mellem Grenene lyder deres Kvidder.

¹³He waters the mountains from his rooms. The earth is filled with the fruit of your works.

¹³Fra din Højsal vander du Bjergene, Jorden mættes fra dine Skyer;

¹⁴He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food out of the earth:

¹⁴du lader Græs gro frem til Kvæget og Urter til Menneskets Tjeneste, så du frembringer Brød af Jorden

¹⁵wine that makes glad the heart of man, oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man’s heart.

¹⁵og Vin, der glæder Menneskets Hjerte, og lader Ansigtet glinse af Olie, og Brødet skal styrke Menneskets Hjerte.

¹⁶Yahweh’s trees are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;

¹⁶HERRENs Træer bliver mætte, Libanons Cedre, som han har plantet,

¹⁷where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the fir trees.

¹⁷hvor Fuglene bygger sig Rede; i Cypresser har Storken sin Bolig.

¹⁸The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.

¹⁸Højfjeldet er for Stenbukken, Klipperne Grævlingens Tilflugt.

¹⁹He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set.

¹⁹Du skabte Månen for Festernes Skyld, Solen kender sin Nedgangs Tid;

²⁰You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the animals of the forest prowl.

²⁰du sender Mørke, Natten kommer, da rører sig alle Skovens Dyr;

²¹The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.

²¹de unge Løver brøler efter Rov, de kræver deres Føde af Gud.

²²The sun rises, and they steal away, and lay down in their dens.

²²De sniger sig bort, når Sol står op, og lægger sig i deres Huler;

²³Man goes forth to his work, to his labor until the evening.

²³Mennesket går til sit Dagværk, ud til sin Gerning, til Kvæld falder på.

²⁴Yahweh, how many are your works! In wisdom have you made them all. The earth is full of your riches.

²⁴Hvor mange er dine Gerninger, HERRE, du gjorde dem alle med Visdom; Jorden er fuld af, hvad du har skabt!

²⁵There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable living things, both small and large animals.

²⁵Der er Havet, stort og vidt, der vrimler det uden Tal af Dyr, både små og store;

²⁶There the ships go, and leviathan, whom you formed to play there.

²⁶Skibene farer der, Livjatan, som du danned til Leg deri.

²⁷These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season.

²⁷De bier alle på dig, at du skal give dem Føde i Tide;

²⁸You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are satisfied with good.

²⁸du giver dem den, og de sanker, du åbner din Hånd, og de mættes med godt.

²⁹You hide your face: they are troubled; you take away their breath: they die, and return to the dust.

²⁹Du skjuler dit Åsyn, og de forfærdes; du tager deres Ånd, og de dør og vender tilbage til Støvet;

³⁰You send forth your Spirit: they are created. You renew the face of the ground.

³⁰du sender din Ånd, og de skabes, Jordens Åsyn fornyer du.

³¹Let the glory of Yahweh endure forever. Let Yahweh rejoice in his works.

³¹HERRENs Herlighed vare evindelig, HERREN glæde sig ved sine Værker!

³²He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.

³²Et Blik fra ham, og Jorden skælver, et Stød fra ham, og Bjergene ryger

³³I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.

³³Jeg vil synge for HERREN, så længe jeg lever, lovsynge min Gud, den Tid jeg er til.

³⁴Let your meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Yahweh.

³⁴Min Sang være ham til Behag, jeg har min Glæde i HERREN.

³⁵Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be no more. Bless Yahweh, my soul. Praise Yah!

³⁵Måtte Syndere svinde fra Jorden og gudløse ikke mer være til! Min Sjæl, lov HERREN! Halleluja!
