1Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh, my soul.
1Halleluja! Pris HERREN, min Sjæl!
2While I live, I will praise Yahweh. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
2Jeg vil prise HERREN hele mit Liv, lovsynge min Gud, så længe jeg lever.
3Don’t put your trust in princes, each a son of man in whom there is no help.
3Sæt ikke eders Lid til Fyrster, til et Menneskebarn, der ikke kan hjælpe!
4His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.
4Hans Ånd går bort, han bliver til Jord igen, hans Råd er bristet samme Dag.
5Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yahweh, his God:
5Salig den, hvis Hjælp er Jakobs Gud, hvis Håb står til HERREN hans Gud,
6who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever;
6som skabte Himmel og Jord, Havet og alf, hvad de rummer, som evigt bevarer sin Trofasthed
7who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. Yahweh frees the prisoners.
7og skaffer de undertrykte Ret, som giver de sultne Brød! HERREN løser de fangne,
8Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind. Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down. Yahweh loves the righteous.
8HERREN åbner de blindes Øjne, HERREN rejser de bøjede, HERREN elsker de retfærdige,
9Yahweh preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.
9HERREN vogter de fremmede, opholder faderløse og Enker, men gudløses Vej gør han kroget.
10Yahweh will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise Yah!
10HERREN er Konge for evigt, din Gud, o Zion, fra Slægt til Slægt. Halleluja!
