¹Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright.

¹Jubler i Herren, I retfærdige, for de oprigtige sømmer sig Lovsang;

²Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.

²lov HERREN med Citer, tak ham til tistrenget Harpe;

³Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy!

³en ny Sang synge I ham, leg lifligt på Strenge til Jubelråb!

⁴For the word of Yahweh is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.

⁴Thi sandt er HERRENs Ord, og al hans Gerning er trofast;

⁵He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of Yahweh.

⁵han elsker Retfærd og Ret, af HERRENs Miskundhed er Jorden fuld.

⁶By Yahweh’s word, the heavens were made; all their army by the breath of his mouth.

⁶Ved HERRENs Ord blev Himlen skabt og al dens Hær ved hans Munds Ånde.

⁷He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.

⁷Som i Vandsæk samled han Havets Vand, lagde Dybets Vande i Forrådskamre.

⁸Let all the earth fear Yahweh. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

⁸Al Jorden skal frygte for HERREN, Alverdens Beboere skælve for ham;

⁹For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.

⁹thi han talede, så skete det, han bød, så stod det der.

¹⁰Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.

¹⁰HERREN kuldkasted Folkenes Råd, gjorde Folkeslags Tanker til intet;

¹¹The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

¹¹HERRENs Råd står fast for evigt, hans Hjertes Tanker fra Slægt til Slægt.

¹²Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.

¹²Saligt det Folk, der har HERREN til Gud, det Folkefærd, han valgte til Arvelod!

¹³Yahweh looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men.

¹³HERREN skuer fra Himlen, ser på alle Menneskens Børn;

¹⁴fra sit Højsæde holder han Øje med alle, som bor på Jorden;

¹⁵he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works.

¹⁵han, som danned deres Hjerter til Hobe, gennemskuer alt deres Værk.

¹⁶There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.

¹⁶Ej frelses en Konge ved sin store Stridsmagt, ej fries en Helt ved sin store Kraft;

¹⁷A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power.

¹⁷til Frelse slår Stridshesten ikke til, trods sin store Styrke redder den ikke.

¹⁸Behold, Yahweh’s eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness;

¹⁸Men HERRENs Øje ser til gudfrygtige, til dem, der håber på Nåden,

¹⁹to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine.

¹⁹for at fri deres Sjæl fra Døden og holde dem i Live i Hungerens Tid.

²⁰Our soul has waited for Yahweh. He is our help and our shield.

²⁰På HERREN bier vor Sjæl, han er vor Hjælp og vort Skjold;

²¹For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.

²¹thi vort Hjerte glæder sig i ham, vi stoler på hans hellige Navn.

²²Let your loving kindness be on us, Yahweh, since we have hoped in you.

²²Din Miskundhed være over os, HERRE, såsom vi håber på dig.
