137 Tsadhe Lord, you are right, and what you decide is just!
Du er retfærdig, HERRE, og retvise er dine Lovbud.
138 You have given your instructions which are fair and totally trustworthy.
Du slog dine Vidnesbyrd fast ved Retfærd og Troskab så såre.
139 My devotion is burning me up inside because my enemies ignore your words.
Min Nidkærhed har fortæret mig, thi mine Fjender har glemt dine Ord.

147 I get up before dawn, and call out to you for help and put my hope in your word.
Årle råber jeg til dig om Hjælp, og bier på dine Ord.
148 During the night I stay awake, meditating on your word.
Før Nattevagtstimerne våger mine Øjne for at grunde på dit Ord.
149 Listen to what I have to say, Lord, because of your trustworthy love. Keep me alive, Lord, because you always do what's right.
Hør mig efter din Miskundhed, HERRE, hold mig i Live efter dit Lovbud!
150 Evil people come running to attack me—they totally disregard your law.
De, der skændigt forfølger mig, er mig nær, men de er langt fra din Lov.
151 But you, Lord, are close beside me; all your commandments are true.

Mange forfølger mig og er mig fjendske, fra dine Vidnesbyrd veg jeg ikke.
158 Watching these unfaithful people disgusts me because they take no notice of your word.
