2 Jeg vil prise HERREN hele mit Liv, lovsynge min Gud, saa længe jeg lever.
I will praise Yahweh as long as I am alive; I will sing to praise my God for [the rest of] my life.

5 Salig den, hvis Hjælp er Jakobs Gud, hvis Haab staar til HERREN hans Gud,
But those whose helper is the God whom Jacob [worshiped] are happy. The one whom they confidently expect [to help them] is Yahweh, their God.
6 som skabte Himmel og Jord, Havet og alt, hvad de rummer, som evigt bevarer sin Trofasthed
He is the one who created heaven and the earth and the oceans and all [the creatures] that are in them. He always does what he has promised to do.
7 og skaffer de undertrykte Ret, som giver de sultne Brød! HERREN løser de fangne,
He decides matters fairly for those who are (treated unfairly/oppressed), and he provides food for those who are hungry. He frees those who are in prison.

Yahweh will [continue to] be our king forever; you people of Israel, your God will rule forever! Praise Yahweh!
