¹The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, speaks, and calls the earth from sunrise to sunset.

¹(En salme af Asaf.) Gud, Gud HERREN talede og stævnede Jorden hid fra Sol i Opgang til Sol i Bjærge;

²Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth.

²fra Zion, Skønhedens Krone, viste Gud sig i Stråleglans

³Our God comes, and does not keep silent. A fire devours before him. It is very stormy around him.

³vor Gud komme og tie ikke! - Foran ham gik fortærende Ild, omkring ham rasede Storm;

⁴He calls to the heavens above, to the earth, that he may judge his people:

⁴han stævnede Himlen deroppe hid og Jorden for at dømme sit Folk:

⁵“Gather my saints together to me, those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”

⁵"Saml mig mine fromme, der sluttede Pagt med mig ved Ofre!"

⁶The heavens shall declare his righteousness, for God himself is judge. Selah.

⁶Og Himlen forkyndte hans Retfærd, at Gud er den, der dømmer. Sela.

⁷“Hear, my people, and I will speak; Israel, and I will testify against you. I am God, your God.

⁷Hør, mit Folk, jeg vil tale, Israel, jeg vil vidne imod dig, Gud, din Gud er jeg!

⁸I don’t rebuke you for your sacrifices. Your burnt offerings are continually before me.

⁸Jeg laster dig ikke for dine Slagtofre, dine Brændofre har jeg jo stadig for Øje;

⁹I have no need for a bull from your stall, nor male goats from your pens.

⁹jeg tager ej Tyre fra dit Hus eller Bukke fra dine Stalde;

¹⁰For every animal of the forest is mine, and the livestock on a thousand hills.

¹⁰thi mig tilhører alt Skovens Vildt, Dyrene på de tusinde Bjerge;

¹¹I know all the birds of the mountains. The wild animals of the field are mine.

¹¹jeg kender alle Bjergenes Fugle, har rede på Markens Vrimmel.

¹²If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.

¹²Om jeg hungred, jeg sagde det ikke til dig, thi mit er Jorderig og dets Fylde!

¹³Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

¹³Mon jeg æder Tyres Kød eller drikker Bukkes Blod?

¹⁴Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Pay your vows to the Most High.

¹⁴Lovsang skal du ofre til Gud og holde den Højeste dine Løfter.

¹⁵Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”

¹⁵Og kald på mig på Nødens Dag; jeg vil udfri dig, og du skal ære mig,

¹⁶But to the wicked God says, “What right do you have to declare my statutes, that you have taken my covenant on your lips,

¹⁶Men til Den gudløse siger Gud: Hvi regner du op mine Bud og fører min Pagt i Munden,

¹⁷since you hate instruction, and throw my words behind you?

¹⁷når du dog hader Tugt og kaster mine Ord bag din Ryg?

¹⁸When you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have participated with adulterers.

¹⁸Ser du en Tyv, slår du Følge med ham, med Horkarle bolder du til,

¹⁹“You give your mouth to evil. Your tongue frames deceit.

¹⁹slipper Munden løs med ondt, din Tunge bærer på Svig.

²⁰You sit and speak against your brother. You slander your own mother’s son.

²⁰Du sidder og skænder din Broder, bagtaler din Moders Søn;

²¹You have done these things, and I kept silent. You thought that I was just like you. I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.

²¹det gør du, og jeg skulde tie, og du skulde tænke, jeg er som du! Revse dig vil jeg og gøre dig det klart.

²²“Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you into pieces, and there be none to deliver.

²²Mærk jer det, I, som glemmer Gud, at jeg ikke skal rive jer redningsløst sønder.

²³Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me, and prepares his way so that I will show God’s salvation to him.”

²³Den, der ofrer Taksigelse, ærer mig; den, der agter på Vejen, lader jeg se Guds Frelse.
