¹My cry goes to God! Indeed, I cry to God for help, and for him to listen to me.

¹(Til Sangmesteren. Til Jedutun. Af Asaf. En Salme.) Jeg råber, højt til Gud, og han hører mig,

²In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord. My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn’t get tired. My soul refused to be comforted.

²jeg søger Herren på Nødens Dag, min Hånd er om Natten utrættet udrakt, min Sjæl vil ikke lade sig trøste;

³I remember God, and I groan. I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah.

³jeg ihukommer Gud og stønner, jeg sukker, min Ånd vansmægter. - Sela.

⁴You hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled that I can’t speak.

⁴Du holder mine Øjne vågne, jeg er urolig og målløs.

⁵I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

⁵Jeg tænker på fordums dage, ihukommer længst henrundne År;

⁶I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; my spirit diligently inquires:

⁶jeg gransker om Natten i Hjertet, grunder og ransager min Ånd.

⁷“Will the Lord reject us forever? Will he be favorable no more?

⁷Vil Herren bortstøde for evigt og aldrig mer vise Nåde,

⁸Has his loving kindness vanished forever? Does his promise fail for generations?

⁸er hans Miskundhed ude for stedse, hans Trofasthed omme for evigt og altid,

⁹Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion?” Selah.

⁹har Gud da glemt at ynkes, lukket sit Hjerte i Vrede? - Sela.

¹⁰Then I thought, “I will appeal to this: the years of the right hand of the Most High.”

¹⁰Jeg sagde: Det er min Smerte; at den Højestes højre er ikke som før.

¹¹I will remember Yah’s deeds; for I will remember your wonders of old.

¹¹Jeg kommer HERRENs Gerninger i Hu, ja kommer dine fordums Undere i Hu.

¹²I will also meditate on all your work, and consider your doings.

¹²Jeg tænker på al din Gerning og grunder over dine Værker.

¹³Your way, God, is in the sanctuary. What god is great like God?

¹³Gud, din Vej var i Hellighed, hvo er en Gud så stor som Gud!

¹⁴You are the God who does wonders. You have made your strength known among the peoples.

¹⁴Du er en Gud, som gør Undere, du gjorde din Vælde kendt blandt Folkene,

¹⁵You have redeemed your people with your arm, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

¹⁵udøste dit Folk med din Arm, Jakobs og Josefs Sønner. - Sela.

¹⁶The waters saw you, God. The waters saw you, and they writhed. The depths also convulsed.

¹⁶Vandene så dig, Gud, Vandene så dig og vred sig i Angst, ja Dybet tog til at skælve;

¹⁷The clouds poured out water. The skies resounded with thunder. Your arrows also flashed around.

¹⁷Skyerne udøste Vand, Skyhimlens Stemme gjaldede, dine Pile for hid og did;

¹⁸The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind. The lightnings lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook.

¹⁸din bragende Torden rullede, Lynene oplyste Jorderig, Jorden bæved og skjalv;

¹⁹Your way was through the sea; your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.

¹⁹din Vej gik midt gennem Havet, din Sti gennem store Vande, dine Fodspor kendtes ikke.

²⁰You led your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

²⁰Du førte dit Folk som en Hjord ved Moses's og Arons Hånd.
