1I will bless Yahweh at all times. His praise will always be in my mouth.
1(Af David, da han lod afsindig for Abimelek, og denne jog ham fra sig, og han drog bort.) Jeg vil love HERREN til hver en Tid, hans Pris skal stadig fylde min Mund
2My soul shall boast in Yahweh. The humble shall hear of it, and be glad.
2min Sjæl skal rose sig af HERREN, de ydmyge skal høre det og glæde sig.
3Oh magnify Yahweh with me. Let us exalt his name together.
3Hylder HERREN i Fællig med mig, lad os sammen ophøje hans Navn!
4I sought Yahweh, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.
4Jeg søgte HERREN, og han svarede mig og friede mig fra alle mine Rædsler.
5They looked to him, and were radiant. Their faces shall never be covered with shame.
5Se hen til ham og strål af Glæde, eders Åsyn skal ikke beskæmmes.
6This poor man cried, and Yahweh heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
6Her er en arm, der råbte, og HERREN hørte, af al hans Trængsel frelste han ham.
7The angel of Yahweh encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.
7HERRENs Engel slår Lejr om dem, der frygter ham, og frier dem.
8Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
8Smag og se, at HERREN er god, salig den Mand, der lider på ham!
9Oh fear Yahweh, you his saints, for there is no lack with those who fear him.
9Frygter HERREN, I hans hellige, thi de, der frygter ham, mangler intet.
10The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but those who seek Yahweh shall not lack any good thing.
10Unge Løver lider Nød og sulter, men de, der søger HERREN, dem fattes intet godt.
11Come, you children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of Yahweh.
11Kom hid, Børnlille, og hør på mig, jeg vil lære jer HERRENs Frygt.
12Who is someone who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?
12Om nogen attrår Liv og ønsker sig Dage for at skue Lykke,
13Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking lies.
13så var din Tunge for ondt, dine Læber fra at tale Svig;
14Depart from evil, and do good. seek peace, and pursue it.
14hold dig fra ondt og øv godt, søg Fred og jag derefter.
15Yahweh’s eyes are toward the righteous. His ears listen to their cry.
15Mod dem, der gør ondt, er HERRENs Åsyn for at slette deres Minde af Jorden; (vers 16 og 17 har byttet plads)
16Yahweh’s face is against those who do evil, to cut off their memory from the earth.
16på retfærdige hviler hans Øjne, hans Ører hører deres Råb;
17The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.
17når de skriger, hører HERREN og frier dem af al deres Trængsel.
18Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.
18HERREN er nær hos dem, hvis Hjerte er knust, han frelser dem, hvis Ånd er brudt.
19Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all.
19Den retfærdiges Lidelser er mange, men HERREN frier ham af dem alle;
20He protects all of his bones. Not one of them is broken.
20han vogter alle hans Ledemod, ikke et eneste brydes.
21Evil shall kill the wicked. Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
21Ulykke bringer de gudløse Død, og bøde skal de, der hader retfærdige.
22Yahweh redeems the soul of his servants. None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned.
22HERREN forløser sine Tjeneres Sjæl, og ingen, der lider på ham, skal bøde.
