¹The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt. They have done abominable works. There is none who does good.

¹(Til sangmesteren. Af David.) Dårerne siger i Hjertet: "Der er ingen Gud!" Slet og afskyeligt handler de, ingen gør godt.

²Yahweh looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who understood, who sought after God.

²HERREN skuer ned fra Himlen på Menneskens Børn for at se, om der findes en forstandig, nogen, der søger Gud.

³They have all gone aside. They have together become corrupt. There is none who does good, no, not one.

³Afveget er alle, til Hobe fordærvet, ingen gør godt, end ikke een!

⁴Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on Yahweh?

⁴Er alle de Udådsmænd da uden Forstand, der æder mit Folk, som åd de Brød, og ikke påkalder HERREN?

⁵There they were in great fear, for God is in the generation of the righteous.

⁵Af Rædsel gribes de da, thi Gud er i de retfærdiges Slægt.

⁶You frustrate the plan of the poor, because Yahweh is his refuge.

⁶Gør kun den armes Råd til Skamme, HERREN er dog hans Tilflugt.

⁷Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When Yahweh restores the fortunes of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

⁷Ak, kom dog fra Zion Israels Frelse! Når HERREN vender Folkets Skæbne, skal Jakob juble, Israel glædes!
