[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high.
2 Han sende dig Hjælp fra Helligdommen, fra Zion styrke han dig;
He will send you help from the sanctuary, and give you support from Zion.
3 han komme alle dine Afgrødeofre i Hu og tage dit Brændoffer gyldigt! (Sela)
He will remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. (Selah)
4 Han give dig efter dit Hjertes Attrå, han fuldbyrde alt dit Råd,
He will grant you your heart's desire, and fulfill all your plans.
5 at vi må juble over din Frelse, løfte Banner i vor Guds Navn! HERREN opfylde alle dine Bønner!
We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May the LORD grant all your requests.
6 Nu ved jeg, at HERREN frelser sin Salvede og svarer ham fra sin hellige Himmel med sin højres frelsende Vælde.
Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with a mighty act of deliverance by his right hand.
7 Nogle stoler på Heste, andre på Vogne, vi sejrer ved HERREN vor Guds Navn.
Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust the name of the LORD our God.
8 De synker i Knæ og falder, vi rejser os og kommer atter på Fode.
They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.
9 HERRE, frels dog Kongen og svar os, den Dag vi kalder!
Save, LORD. Let the King answer us when we call.
