7 Han holder Vandet sammen i Havet som en Dynge; han lægger de dybe Vande i Forraadskamre.

14 Han saa ned fra sit Højsæde til alle Jordens Indbyggere.
From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15 Han er den, som danner deres Hjerter til Hobe, som agter paa alle deres Gerninger.

16 En Konge frelses ikke ved stor Magt, en vældig fries ikke ved stor Kraft.
There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17 Hesten slaar fejl til Frelse og kan ikke redde ved sin store Styrke.
A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power.
18 Se, Herrens Øje er til dem, som ham frygte, som haabe paa hans Miskundhed,
Behold, the LORD’s eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness,
19 for at fri deres Sjæl fra Død og holde dem i Live i Hungersnøden.
to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine.
20 Vor Sjæl bier efter Herren, han er vor Hjælp og vort Skjold.
Our soul has waited for the LORD. He is our help and our shield.
21 Thi i ham glædes vort Hjerte; thi vi forlade os paa hans hellige Navn.
For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 Herre! din Miskundhed være over os, ligesom vi haabe paa dig!
Let your loving kindness be on us, LORD, since we have hoped in you.
