¹In you, Yahweh, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed.

¹HERRE, jeg lider på dig, lad mig aldrig i evighed skuffes.

²Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me.

²Frels mig og udfri mig i din Retfærdighed, du bøjede dit Øre til mig;

³Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.

³red mig og vær mig en Tilflugtsklippe, en Klippeborg til min Frelse; thi du er min Klippe og Borg!

⁴Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

⁴Min Gud, fri mig ud af gudløses Hånd, af Niddings og Voldsmands Kløer;

⁵For you are my hope, Lord Yahweh; my confidence from my youth.

⁵thi du er mit Håb, o Herre! Fra min Ungdom var HERREN min Tillid;

⁶I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother’s womb. I will always praise you.

⁶fra Moders Skød har jeg støttet mig til dig, min Forsørger var du fra Moders Liv, dig gælder altid min Lovsang.

⁷I am a marvel to many, but you are my strong refuge.

⁷For mange står jeg som mærket af Gud, men du er min stærke Tilflugt;

⁸My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honor all the day.

⁸min Mund er fuld af din Lovsang, af din Ære Dagen lang.

⁹Don’t reject me in my old age. Don’t forsake me when my strength fails.

⁹Forkast mig ikke i Alderdommens Tid og svigt mig ikke, nu Kraften svinder;

¹⁰For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together,

¹⁰thi mine Fjender taler om mig, de der lurer på min Sjæl, holder Råd:

¹¹saying, “God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him.”

¹¹"Gud har svigtet ham! Efter ham! Grib ham, thi ingen frelser!"

¹²God, don’t be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.

¹²Gud, hold dig ikke borte fra mig, il mig til Hjælp, min Gud;

¹³Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.

¹³lad dem blive til Skam og Skændsel, dem, der står mig imod, lad dem hylles i Spot og Spe, dem, der vil mig ondt!

¹⁴But I will always hope, and will add to all of your praise.

¹⁴Men jeg, jeg vil altid håbe, blive ved at istemme din Pris;

¹⁵My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I don’t know its full measure.

¹⁵min Mund skal vidne om din Retfærd, om din Frelse Dagen lang; thi jeg kender ej Ende derpå.

¹⁶I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Yahweh. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.

¹⁶Jeg vil minde om den Herre HERRENs Vælde, lovsynge din Retfærd, kun den alene.

¹⁷God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works.

¹⁷Gud, du har vejledt mig fra min Ungdom af, dine Undere har jeg forkyndt til nu;

¹⁸Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, don’t forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.

¹⁸indtil Alderdommens Tid og de grånende Hår svigte du mig ikke, o Gud. End skal jeg prise din Arm for alle kommende Slægter.

¹⁹Your righteousness also, God, reaches to the heavens; you have done great things. God, who is like you?

¹⁹Din Vælde og din Retfærdighed når til Himlen, o Gud; du, som øvede store Ting, hvo er din Lige, Gud?

²⁰You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, you will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.

²⁰Du, som lod os skue mange fold Trængsel og Nød, du kalder os atter til Live og drager os atter af Jordens Dyb;

²¹Increase my honor, and comfort me again.

²¹du vil øge min Storhed og atter trøste mig.

²²I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God. I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.

²²Til Gengæld vil jeg til Harpespil prise din Trofasthed, min Gud, lege på Citer for dig, du Israels Hellige;

²³My lips shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you!

²³juble skal mine Læber - ja, jeg vil lovsynge dig og min Sjæl, som du udløste;

²⁴My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me.

²⁴også min Tunge skal Dagen igennem forkynde din Retfærd, thi Skam og Skændsel får de, som vil mig ilde.
