¹An oracle is within my heart about the disobedience of the wicked: “There is no fear of God before his eyes.”

¹(Til sangmesteren. Af HERRENs tjener David.) Synden taler til den Gudløse inde i hans Hjerte; Gudsfrygt har han ikke for Øje;

²For he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect and hate his sin.

²thi den smigrer ham frækt og siger, at ingen skal finde hans Brøde og hade ham.

³The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good.

³Hans Munds Ord er Uret og Svig, han har ophørt at handle klogt og godt;

⁴He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn’t abhor evil.

⁴på sit Leje udtænker han Uret, han træder en Vej, som ikke er god; det onde afskyr han ikke.

⁵Your loving kindness, Yahweh, is in the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

⁵HERRE, din Miskundhed rækker til Himlen, din Trofasthed når til Skyerne,

⁶Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. Yahweh, you preserve man and animal.

⁶din Retfærd er som Guds Bjerge, dine Domme som det store Dyb; HERRE, du frelser Folk og Fæ,

⁷How precious is your loving kindness, God! The children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings.

⁷hvor dyrebar er dog din Miskundhed, Gud! Og Menneskebørnene skjuler sig i dine Vingers Skygge;

⁸They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.

⁸de kvæges ved dit Huses Fedme, du læsker dem af din Lifligheds Strøm;

⁹For with you is the spring of life. In your light shall we see light.

⁹thi hos dig er Livets Kilde, i dit Lys skuer vi Lys!

¹⁰Oh continue your loving kindness to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.

¹⁰Lad din Miskundhed blive over dem, der kender dig, din Retfærd over de oprigtige af Hjertet.

¹¹Don’t let the foot of pride come against me. Don’t let the hand of the wicked drive me away.

¹¹Lad Hovmods Fod ej træde mig ned, gudløses Hånd ej jage mig bort.

¹²There the workers of iniquity are fallen. They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.

¹²Se, Udådsmændene falder, slås ned, så de ikke kan rejse sig.
