¹To you, Yahweh, I call. My rock, don’t be deaf to me; lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.

¹(Af David.) Jeg råber til dig, o Herre, min Klippe, vær ikke tavs imod mig, at jeg ej, når du tier, skal blive som de, der synker i Graven.

²Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.

²Hør min tryglende Røst, når jeg råber til dig, løfter Hænderne op mod dit hellige Tempel.

³Don’t draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.

³Riv mig ej bort med gudløse, Udådsmænd, som har ondt i Sinde mod Næsten trods venlige Ord.

⁴Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.

⁴Løn dem for deres Idræt og onde Gerninger; løn dem for deres Hænders Værk, gengæld dem efter Fortjeneste!

⁵Because they don’t respect the works of Yahweh, nor the operation of his hands, he will break them down and not build them up.

⁵Thi HERRENs Gerning ænser de ikke, ej heller hans Hænders Værk. Han nedbryde dem og opbygge dem ej!

⁶Blessed be Yahweh, because he has heard the voice of my petitions.

⁶Lovet være HERREN, thi han har hørt min tryglende Røst;

⁷Yahweh is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.

⁷min Styrke, mit Skjold er HERREN, mit Hjerte stoler på ham. Jeg fik Hjælp, mit Hjerte jubler, jeg takker ham med min Sang.

⁸Yahweh is their strength. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.

⁸HERREN er Værn for sit Folk, sin Salvedes Tilflugt og Frelse.

⁹Save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.

⁹Frels dit Folk og velsign din Arv, røgt dem og bær dem til evig Tid!
