12 Du lod Mennesker fare over vort Hoved; vi ere komne i Ild og i Vand, men du udførte os til at vederkvæges.
You have set men over our heads. We have crossed through fire and water. And you have led us out to refreshment.
13 Jeg vil gaa ind i dit Hus med Brændofre, jeg vil betale dig mine Løfter,
I will enter your house with holocausts. I will repay my vows to you,
14 dem, som mine Læber oplode sig med, og min Mund talte, da jeg var i Angest.
which my lips discerned and my mouth spoke, in my tribulation.
15 Jeg vil ofre dig Brændoffer af fedt Kvæg og Duften af Vædre; jeg vil tillave Øksne og Bukke. (Sela)
I will offer to you holocausts full of marrow, with the burnt offerings of rams. I will offer to you bulls as well as goats.
16 Kommer hid, hører til, alle 1, som frygte Gud, saa vil jeg fortælle, hvad han har gjort ved min Sjæl.
Draw near and listen, all you who fear God, and I will describe to you how much he has done for my soul.
17 Til ham raabte jeg med min Mund, og hans Pris kom paa min Tunge.
I cried out to him with my mouth, and I extolled him under my breath.
18 Dersom jeg havde set Uret i mit Hjerte, da vilde Herren ikke have hørt mig.
If I have seen iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not heed me.
19 Dog har Gud hørt; han gav Agt paa min Bøns Røst.
And yet, God has heeded me and he has attended to the voice of my supplication.
20 Lovet være Gud, som ikke forskød min Bøn eller vendte sin Miskundhed fra mig!
Blessed is God, who has not removed my prayer, nor his mercy, from me.
