¹God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us, again.

¹(Til sangmesteren. Al-sjusjan-edut. En miktam af David til til indøvelse, dengang han kæmpede med Aram-Naharajim og Aram-Zoba, og Joab vendte tilbage og slog edomitterne i Saltdalen, 12000 mand.) Gud, du har stødt os fra dig, nedbrudt os, du vredes - vend dig til os igen;

²You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, for it quakes.

²du lod Landet skælve, slå Revner, læg nu dets Brist, thi det vakler!

³You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.

³Du lod dit Folk friste ondt, iskænked os døvende Vin.

⁴You have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

⁴Dem, der frygter dig, gav du et Banner, hvorhen de kan fly for Buen. - Sela.

⁵So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.

⁵Til Frelse for dine elskede hjælp med din højre, bønhør os!

⁶God has spoken from his sanctuary: “I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.

⁶Gud talede i sin Helligdom: "Jeg vil udskifte Sikem med jubel, udmåle Sukkots Dal;

⁷Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.

⁷mit er Gilead, mit er Manasse, Efraim er mit Hoveds Værn, Juda min Herskerstav,

⁸Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my shoe on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia.”

⁸Moab min Vaskeskål, på Edom kaster jeg min Sko, over Filisterland jubler jeg."

⁹Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom?

⁹Hvo bringer mig hen til den faste Stad, hvo leder mig hen til Edom?

¹⁰Haven’t you, God, rejected us? You don’t go out with our armies, God.

¹⁰Har du ikke, Gud, stødt os fra dig? Du ledsager ej vore Hære.

¹¹Give us help against the adversary, for the help of man is vain.

¹¹Giv os dog Hjælp mod Fjenden! Blændværk er Menneskers Støtte.

¹²Through God we shall do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.

¹²Med Gud skal vi øve vældige Ting, vore Fjender træder han ned!
