Psalms 119
1 Alleluia. Blessed are the blameless in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.
Salige de, hvis Vandel er fulde, som vandrer i HERRENs Lov.
2 Blessed are they that search out his testimonies: they will diligently seek him with the whole heart.
Salige de, der agter på hans Vidnesbyrd, søger ham af hele deres Hjerte.
3 For they that work iniquity have not walked in his ways.
de, som ikke gør Uret, men vandrer på hans Veje.
4 You have commanded [us] diligently to keep your precepts.
Du har givet dine Befalinger, for at de nøje skal holdes.
5 O that my ways were directed to keep your ordinances.
O, måtte jeg vandre med faste Skridt, så jeg holder dine Vedtægter!
6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect to all your commandments.
Da skulde jeg ikke blive til - Skamme, thi jeg så hen til alle dine Bud.
7 I will give you thanks with uprightness of heart, when I have learnt the judgements of your righteousness.
Jeg vil takke dig af oprigtigt Hjerte, når jeg lærer din Retfærds Lovbud.
8 I will keep your ordinances: O forsake me not greatly.
Jeg vil holde dine Vedtægter, svigt mig dog ikke helt!

Hvorledes holder en ung sin Vej ren? Ved at bolde sig efter dit Ord.
10 With my whole heart have I diligently sought you: cast me not away from your commandments.
Af hele mit Hjerte søger jeg dig, lad mig ikke fare vild fra dine Bud!
11 I have hidden your oracles in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
Jeg gemmer dit Ord i mit Hjerte for ikke at synde imod dig.
12 Blessed are you, O Lord: teach me your ordinances.
Lovet være du, HERRE, lær mig dine Vedtægter!
13 With my lips have I declared all the judgements of your mouth.
Jeg kundgør med mine Læber alle din Munds Lovbud.

43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in your judgements. So shall I keep your law continually, for ever and ever.
Tag ikke ganske Sandheds Ord fra min Mund, thi jeg bier på dine Lovbud.
Jeg vil stadig holde din Lov, ja evigt og altid;

jeg vil vandre i åbent Land, thi dine Befalinger ligger mig på Sinde.

Dine Lovbud fra fordum, HERRE, kom jeg i Hu og fandt Trøst.
53 Despair took hold upon me, because of the sinners who forsake your law.
Harme greb mig over de gudløse, dem, der slipper din Lov.
54 Your ordinances were my songs in the place of my sojourning.
Dine vedtægter blev mig til Sange i min Udlændigheds Hus.
55 I remembered your name, O Lord, in the night, and kept your law.
Om Natten kom jeg dit Navn i Hu, HERRE, jeg holdt din Lov.
56 This I had, because I diligently sought your ordinances.
Det blev min lykkelige Lod: at agte på dine Befalinger.
57 You are my portion, O Lord: I said that I would keep your law.

67 Before I was afflicted, I transgressed; therefore have I kept your word.
For jeg blev ydmyget, for jeg vild, nu holder jeg dit Ord.
68 Good are you, O Lord; therefore in your goodness teach me your ordinances.
God er du og gør godt, lær mig dine Vedtægter!
69 The injustice of the proud has been multiplied against me: but I will search out your commandments with all my heart.
De frække tilsøler mig med Løgn, men på dine Bud tager jeg hjerteligt Vare.
70 Their heart has been curdled like milk; but I have meditated on your law.
Deres Hjerte er dorskt som Fedt, jeg har min Lyst i din Lov.
71 [It is] good for me that you have afflicted me; that I might learn your ordinances.
Det var godt, at jeg blev ydmyget, så jeg kunde lære dine Vedtægter.
72 The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver.
Din Munds Lov er mig mere værd end Guld og Sølv i Dynger.

De, der frygter dig, ser mig og glædes, thi jeg bier på dit Ord.
75 I know, O Lord, that your judgements are righteousness, and [that] you in truthfulness have afflicted me.
HERRE, jeg ved, at dine Bud er retfærdige, i Trofasthed har du ydmyget mig.
76 Let, I pray you, your mercy be to comfort me, according to your word to your servant.
Lad din Miskundhed være min Trøst efter dit Ord til din Tjener!

81 My soul faints for your salvation: I have hoped in your words.
Efter din Frelse længes min Sjæl, jeg bier på dit Ord.
82 Mine eyes failed [in waiting] for your word, saying, When will you comfort me?
Mine Øjne længes efter dit Ord og siger: "Hvornår mon du trøster mig?"
83 For I am become as a bottle in the frost: [yet] I have not forgotten your ordinances.
Thi jeg er som en Lædersæk i Røg, men dine Vedtægter glemte jeg ikke.
84 How many are the days of your servant? when will you execute judgement for me on them that persecute me?
Hvor langt er vel din Tjeners Liv? Når vil du dømme dem, der forfølger mig?
85 Transgressors told me [idle tales]; but not according to your law, O Lord.
De frække grov mig Grave, de, som ej følger din Lov.
86 All your commandments are truth; they persecuted me unjustly; help you me.
Alle dine Bud er trofaste, med Løgn forfølger man mig, o hjælp mig!
87 They nearly made an end of me in the earth; but I forsook not your commandments.
De har næsten tilintetgjort mig på Jorden, men dine Befalinger slipper jeg ikke.
88 Quicken me according to your mercy; so shall I keep the testimonies of your mouth.
Hold mig i Live efter din Miskundhed, at jeg kan holde din Munds Vidnesbyrd.

90 Your truth [endures] to all generations; you have founded the earth, and it abides.
Din Trofasthed varer fra Slægt til Slægt, du grundfæsted Jorden, og den står fast.
91 The day continues by your arrangement; for all things are your servants.
Dine Lovbud står fast, de holder dine Tjenere oppe.
92 Were it not that your law is my (meditation) then I should have perished in mine affliction.
Havde din Lov ej været min Lyst, da var jeg omkommet i min Elende.
93 I will never forget your ordinances; for with them you have quickened me.
Aldrig i Evighed glemmer jeg dine Befalinger, thi ved dem holdt du mig i Live.

Din er jeg, frels mig, thi dine Befalinger ligger mig på Sinde.
95 Sinners laid wait for me to destroy me; [but] I understood your testimonies.
De gudløse lurer på at lægge mig øde, dine Vidnesbyrd mærker jeg mig.
96 have seen an end of all perfection; [but] your commandment is very broad.
For alting så jeg en Grænse, men såre vidt rækker dit Bud.
97 How I have loved your law, O Lord! it is my meditation all the day.
Hvor elsker jeg dog din Lov! Hele Dagen grunder jeg på den.
98 You have made me wiser than mine enemies [in] your commandment; for it is mine for ever.

Hvor sødt er dit Ord for min Gane, sødere end Honning for min Mund.
104 I gain understanding by your commandments: therefore I have hated every way of unrighteousness.
Ved dine Befalinger fik jeg Forstand, så jeg hader al Løgnens Vej.
105 Your law is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my paths.
Dit Ord er en Lygte for min Fod, et Lys på min Sti.
106 I have sworn and determined to keep the judgements of your righteousness.
Jeg svor en Ed og holdt den: at følge dine retfærdige Lovbud.
107 I have been very greatly afflicted, O Lord: quicken me, according to your word.
Jeg er såre ydmyget, HERRE, hold mig i Live efter dit Ord!

148 Mine eyes prevented the dawn, that I might meditate on your oracles.
Før Nattevagtstimerne våger mine Øjne for at grunde på dit Ord.
149 Hear my voice, O Lord, according to your mercy; quicken me according to your judgement.
Hør mig efter din Miskundhed, HERRE, hold mig i Live efter dit Lovbud!
150 They have drawn near who persecuted me unlawfully; and they are far removed from your law.
De, der skændigt forfølger mig, er mig nær, men de er langt fra din Lov.
