¹Yahweh reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad!

¹HERREN har vist, han er Konge! Jorden juble, lad glædes de mange Strande!

²Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

²Skyer og Mulm er om ham, Retfærd og Ret er hans Trones Støtte;

³A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side.

³Ild farer frem foran ham, og luer iblandt hans Fjender.

⁴His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles.

⁴Hans Lyn lyste op på Jorderig, Jorden så det og skjalv;

⁵The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

⁵Bjergene smelted som Voks for HERREN, for hele Jordens Herre;

⁶The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory.

⁶Himlen forkyndte hans Retfærd, alle Folkeslag skued hans Herlighed.

⁷Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods!

⁷Til Skamme blev alle, som dyrkede Billeder, de, som var stolte af deres Afguder; alle Guder bøjed sig for ham.

⁸Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced, because of your judgments, Yahweh.

⁸Zion hørte det og glædede sig, og Judas Døtre jublede over dine Domme, HERRE!

⁹For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods.

⁹Thi du, o HERRE, er den Højeste over al Jorden, højt ophøjet over alle Guder!

¹⁰You who love Yahweh, hate evil. He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.

¹⁰I, som elsker HERREN, hade det onde! Han vogter sine frommes Sjæle og frier dem af de gudløses Hånd;

¹¹Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

¹¹over de retfærdige oprinder Lys og Glæde over de oprigtige af Hjertet.

¹²Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous people! Give thanks to his holy Name.

¹²I retfærdige, glæd jer i HERREN, lovsyng hans hellige Navn!
