¹It is a good thing to give thanks to Yahweh, to sing praises to your name, Most High;

¹(En Salme. En Sang for Sabbatsdagen.) Det er godt at takke HERREN, lovsynge dit navn, du højeste,

²to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,

²ved Gry forkynde din Nåde, om Natten din Trofasthed

³with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre.

³til tistrenget Lyre, til Harpe, til Strengeleg på Citer!

⁴For you, Yahweh, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.

⁴Thi ved dit Værk har du glædet mig, HERRE, jeg jubler over dine Hænders Gerning.

⁵How great are your works, Yahweh! Your thoughts are very deep.

⁵Hvor store er dine Gerninger, HERRE, dine Tanker såre dybe!

⁶A senseless man doesn’t know, neither does a fool understand this:

⁶Tåben fatter det ikke, Dåren skønner ej sligt.

⁷though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.

⁷Spirer de gudløse end som Græsset, blomstrer end alle Udådsmænd, er det kun for at lægges øde for stedse,

⁸men du er ophøjet for evigt, HERRE.

⁹For, behold, your enemies, Yahweh, for, behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.

⁹Thi se, dine Fjender, HERRE, se, dine Fjender går under, alle Udådsmænd spredes!

¹⁰But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.

¹⁰Du har løftet mit Horn som Vildoksens, kvæget mig med den friskeste Olie;

¹¹My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.

¹¹det fryder mit Øje at se mine Fjender, mit Øre at høre mine Avindsmænd.

¹²The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

¹²De retfærdige grønnes som Palmen, vokser som Libanons Ceder;

¹³They are planted in Yahweh’s house. They will flourish in our God’s courts.

¹³plantet i HERRENs Hus grønnes de i vor Guds Forgårde;

¹⁴They will still bring forth fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,

¹⁴selv grånende bærer de Frugt, er friske og fulde af Saft

¹⁵to show that Yahweh is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

¹⁵for at vidne, at HERREN er retvis, min Klippe, hos hvem ingen Uret findes.
