< Psalms 119 >
1 ALEPH. Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of YHWH.
Salige de, hvis Vandel er fuldkommen, de, som vandrer i HERRENS Lov.
2 Blessed are those who keep his decrees, who seek him with their whole heart.
Salige de, der agter paa hans Vidnesbyrd, søger ham af hele deres Hjerte,
3 Yes, they do nothing wrong. They walk in his ways.
de, som ikke gør Uret, men vandrer paa hans Veje.
4 You have commanded your precepts, that we should fully obey them.
Du har givet dine Befalinger, for at de nøje skal holdes.
5 Oh that my ways were steadfast to obey your statutes.
O, maatte jeg vandre med faste Skridt, saa jeg holder dine Vedtægter!
6 Then I wouldn't be disappointed, when I consider all of your commandments.
Da skulde jeg ikke blive til Skamme, thi jeg saa hen til alle dine Bud.

Jeg vil takke dig af oprigtigt Hjerte, naar jeg lærer din Retfærds Lovbud.
8 I will observe your statutes. Do not utterly forsake me.
Jeg vil holde dine Vedtægter, svigt mig dog ikke helt!

Hvorledes holder en ung sin Vej ren? Ved at holde sig efter dit Ord.
10 With my whole heart, I have sought you. Do not let me wander from your commandments.
Af hele mit Hjerte søger jeg dig, lad mig ikke fare vild fra dine Bud!
11 In my heart I have hidden your word, that I might not sin against you.
Jeg gemmer dit Ord i mit Hjerte for ikke at synde imod dig.
12 Blessed are you, YHWH. Teach me your statutes.
Lovet være du, HERRE, lær mig dine Vedtægter!
13 With my lips, I have declared all the ordinances of your mouth.

Und din Tjener at leve, at jeg kan holde dit Ord.
18 Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things out of your Law.
Oplad mine Øjne, at jeg maa skue de underfulde Ting i din Lov.
19 I am a stranger on the earth. Do not hide your commandments from me.
Fremmed er jeg paa Jorden, skjul ikke dine Bud for mig!
20 My soul is consumed with longing for your ordinances at all times.
Altid hentæres min Sjæl af Længsel efter dine Lovbud.
21 You have rebuked the proud who are cursed, who wander from your commandments.
Du truer de frække; forbandede er de, der viger fra dine Bud.
22 Take reproach and contempt away from me, for I have kept your statutes.
Vælt Haan og Ringeagt fra mig, thi jeg agter paa dine Vidnesbyrd.
23 Though princes sit and slander me, your servant will meditate on your statutes.
Om Fyrster oplægger Raad imod mig, grunder din Tjener paa dine Vedtægter.
24 Indeed your statutes are my delight, and my counselors.
Ja, dine Vidnesbyrd er min Lyst, det er dem, der giver mig Raad.
25 DALET. My soul is laid low in the dust. Revive me according to your word.
I Støvet ligger min Sjæl, hold mig i Live efter dit Ord!
26 I declared my ways, and you answered me. Teach me your statutes.
Mine Veje lagde jeg frem, og du bønhørte mig, dine Vedtægter lære du mig.
27 Let me understand the teaching of your precepts. Then I will meditate on your wondrous works.

49 ZAYIN. Remember your word to your servant, because you gave me hope.
Kom Ordet til din Tjener i Hu, fordi du har ladet mig haabe.
50 This is my comfort in my affliction, for your word has revived me.
Det er min Trøst i Nød, at dit Ord har holdt mig i Live.
51 The arrogant mock me excessively, but I do not swerve from your Law.
De frække haaned mig saare, dog veg jeg ej fra din Lov.
52 I remember your ordinances of old, YHWH, and have comforted myself.
Dine Lovbud fra fordum, HERRE, kom jeg i Hu og fandt Trøst.
53 Indignation has taken hold on me, because of the wicked who forsake your Law.
Harme greb mig over de gudløse, dem, der slipper din Lov.
54 Your statutes have been my songs, in the house where I live.
Dine Vedtægter blev mig til Sange i min Udlændigheds Hus.
55 I have remembered your name, YHWH, in the night, and I obey your Law.
Om Natten kom jeg dit Navn i Hu, HERRE, jeg holdt din Lov.
56 This is my way, that I keep your precepts.
Det blev min lykkelige Lod: at agte paa dine Befalinger.
57 HET. YHWH is my portion. I promised to obey your words.
Min Del er HERREN, jeg satte mig for at holde dine Ord.

67 Before I was afflicted, I went astray; but now I observe your word.
Før jeg blev ydmyget, for jeg vild, nu holder jeg dit Ord.
68 You are good, and do good. Teach me your statutes.
God er du og gør godt, lær mig dine Vedtægter!
69 The proud have smeared a lie upon me. With my whole heart, I will keep your precepts.
De frække tilsøler mig med Løgn, men paa dine Bud tager jeg hjerteligt Vare.
70 Their heart is as callous as the fat, but I delight in your Law.
Deres Hjerte er dorskt som Fedt, jeg har min Lyst i din Lov.
71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn your statutes.
Det var godt, at jeg blev ydmyget, saa jeg kunde lære dine Vedtægter.
72 The Law you have spoken is better to me than thousands of pieces of gold and silver.
Din Munds Lov er mig mere værd end Guld og Sølv i Dynger.
73 YOD. Your hands have made me and formed me. Give me understanding, that I may learn your commandments.
Dine Hænder skabte og dannede mig, giv mig Indsigt, saa jeg kan lære dine Bud!

De, der frygter dig, ser mig og glædes, thi jeg bier paa dit Ord.
75 YHWH, I know that your judgments are righteous, that in faithfulness you have humbled me.
HERRE, jeg ved, at dine Bud er retfærdige, i Trofasthed har du ydmyget mig.
76 Please let your loving kindness be for my comfort, according to your word to your servant.

Lad mit Hjerte være fuldkomment i dine Vedtægter, at jeg ikke skal blive til Skamme.
81 KAPH. My soul faints for your salvation. I hope in your word.
Efter din Frelse længes min Sjæl, jeg bier paa dit Ord.
82 My eyes fail for your word. I say, "When will you comfort me?"
Mine Øjne længes efter dit Ord og siger: »Hvornaar mon du trøster mig?«
83 For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke. I do not forget your statutes.
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 judgment on those who persecute me?
Hvor langt er vel din Tjeners Liv? Naar vil du dømme dem, der forfølger mig?
85 The proud have dug pits for me, contrary to your Law.
De frække grov mig Grave, de, som ej følger din Lov.
86 All of your commandments are faithful. They persecute me wrongfully. Help me.
Alle dine Bud er trofaste, med Løgn forfølger man mig, o hjælp mig!
87 They had almost wiped me from the earth, but I did not forsake your precepts.
De har næsten tilintetgjort mig paa Jorden, men dine Befalinger slipper jeg ikke.
88 Preserve my life according to your loving kindness, so I will obey the statutes of your mouth.
Hold mig i Live efter din Miskundhed, at jeg kan holde din Munds Vidnesbyrd.

De gudløse lurer paa at lægge mig øde, dine Vidnesbyrd mærker jeg mig.
96 I have seen a limit to all perfection, but your commands are boundless.
For alting saa jeg en Grænse, men saare vidt rækker dit Bud.
97 MEM. How I love your Law. It is my meditation all day.
Hvor elsker jeg dog din Lov! Hele Dagen grunder jeg paa den.

104 Through your precepts, I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.
Ved dine Befalinger fik jeg Forstand, saa jeg hader al Løgnens Vej.
105 NUN. Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path.
Dit Ord er en Lygte for min Fod, et Lys paa min Sti.
106 I have sworn, and have confirmed it, that I will obey your righteous ordinances.
Jeg svor en Ed og holdt den: at følge dine retfærdige Lovbud.
107 I am afflicted very much. Revive me, YHWH, according to your word.
Jeg er saare ydmyget, HERRE, hold mig i Live efter dit Ord!
108 Please accept the freewill offerings of my mouth, YHWH, and teach me your ordinances.
Lad min Munds frivillige Ofre behage dig, HERRE, og lær mig dine Lovbud!

127 Therefore I love your commandments more than gold, yes, more than pure gold.
Derfor elsker jeg dine Bud fremfor Guld og Skatte.
128 Therefore I consider all of your precepts to be right. I hate every false way.
Derfor følger jeg oprigtigt alle dine Befalinger og hader hver Løgnens Sti.
