¹I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.

¹(En salme. En sang ved husets indvielse. Af David.) HERRE, jeg ophøjer dig, thi du bjærgede mig, lod ej mine Fjender glæde sig over mig;

²Yahweh my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.

²HERRE min Gud, jeg råbte til dig, og du helbredte mig.

³Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. . You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

³Fra Dødsriget, HERRE, drog du min Sjæl, kaldte mig til Live af Gravens Dyb.

⁴Sing praise to Yahweh, you saints of his. Give thanks to his holy name.

⁴Lovsyng HERREN, I hans fromme, pris hans hellige Navn!

⁵For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.

⁵Thi et Øjeblik varer hans Vrede, Livet igennem hans Nåde; om Aftenen gæster os Gråd, om Morgenen Frydesang.

⁶As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.”

⁶Jeg tænkte i min Tryghed: "Jeg rokkes aldrig i Evighed!"

⁷You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.

⁷HERRE, i Nåde havde du fæstnet mit Bjerg; du skjulte dit Åsyn, jeg blev forfærdet.

⁸I cried to you, Yahweh. To Yahweh I made supplication:

⁸Jeg råbte, HERRE, til dig, og tryglende bad jeg til HERREN:

⁹“What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?

⁹"Hvad Vinding har du af mit Blod, af at jeg synker i Graven? Kan Støv mon takke dig, råbe din Trofasthed ud?

¹⁰Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me. Yahweh, be my helper.”

¹⁰HERRE, hør og vær nådig, HERRE, kom mig til Hjælp!"

¹¹You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,

¹¹Du vendte min Sorg til Dans, løste min Sørgedragt, hylled mig i Glæde,

¹²To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever!

¹²at min Ære skal prise dig uden Ophør. HERRE min Gud, jeg vil takke dig evigt!
