3 Han drog mig op af den brusende Grav, af det skidne Dynd, han satte min Fod paa en Klippe, gav Skridtene Fasthed,
And he put in mouth my - a song new praise to God our they will see many [people] so they may fear and they may trust in Yahweh.
4 en ny Sang lagde han i min Mund, en Lovsang til vor Gud. Mange skal se det og frygte og stole paa HERREN.
How blessed! [is] the man who he has made Yahweh trust his and not he has turned to proud people and [those who] fall away of falsehood.
5 Salig den Mand, der sætter sin Lid til HERREN, ej vender sig til hovmodige eller dem, der hælder til Løgn.
Many you have made - you - O Yahweh God my wonders your and plans your to us not - to compare to you I will declare and I will speak they are [too] numerous for recounting.
6 Mange Undere gjorde du, HERRE min Gud, og mange Tanker tænkte du for os; de kan ikke opregnes for dig; ellers forkyndte og fortalte jeg dem; til at tælles er de for mange.
Sacrifice and offering - not you desired ears you dug for me burnt offering and sin offering not you asked for.
7 Til Slagt— og Afgrødeoffer har du ej Lyst, du gav mig aabne Ører, Brænd— og Syndoffer kræver du ikke.
Then I said here! I have come in [the] scroll of [the] book [it is] written on me.
8 Da sagde jeg: »Se, jeg kommer, i Bogrullen er der givet mig Forskrift;
To do will your O God my I desire and law your [is] in [the] midst of inward parts my.
9 at gøre din Vilje, min Gud, er min Lyst, og din Lov er i mit Indre.«
I have borne news righteousness - in [the] assembly great here! lips my not I restrain O Yahweh you you know.
10 I en stor Forsamling forkyndte jeg Retfærd, se, mine Læber lukked jeg ikke; HERRE, du ved det.
Righteousness your not I have concealed - in [the] midst of heart my faithfulness your and salvation your I have spoken not I have hidden covenant loyalty your and faithfulness your to [the] assembly great.
11 Din Retfærd dulgte jeg ej i mit Hjerte, din Trofasthed og Frelse talte jeg Om, din Naade og Sandhed fornægted jeg ej i en stor Forsamling.
You O Yahweh not you will withhold compassion your from me covenant loyalty your and faithfulness your continually they preserve me.
12 Du, HERRE, vil ikke lukke dit Hjerte for mig, din Naade og Sandhed skal altid være mit Værn.
For they have surrounded me - troubles until there not [was] number they have overtaken me iniquities my and not I am able to see they are numerous more than [the] hairs of head my and heart my it has abandoned me.
13 Thi Ulykker lejrer sig om mig i talløs Mængde, mine Synder har indhentet mig, saa jeg ikke kan se, de er flere end Hovedets Haar, og Modet har svigtet.
Be pleased O Yahweh to deliver me O Yahweh to help my make haste!
14 Du værdiges, HERRE, at fri mig, HERRE, il mig til Hjælp.
May they be ashamed and they may be abashed - altogether [those who] seek life my to snatch away it may they be turned back backwards and may they be humiliated [the] [people] desirous of harm my.
15 Lad dem beskæmmes og rødme, som vil mig til Livs, og de, der ønsker mig ondt, lad dem vige med Skændsel;
May they be appalled on [the] consequence of shame their those [who] say to me aha! - aha!
16 Lad dem stivne af Rædsel ved deres Skam, de, som siger: »Ha, ha!« til mig!
May they exult and they may rejoice - in you all [those who] seek you may they say continually he is great Yahweh [those who] love salvation your.
17 Lad alle, som søger dig, frydes og glædes i dig; lad dem, som elsker din Frelse, bestandig sige: »HERREN er stor!« Er jeg end arm og fattig, vil Herren dog tænke paa mig. Du er min Hjælp og min Frelser; tøv ej, min Gud!
