1 Jeg tager min Tilflugt til HERREN! Hvor kan I sige til min Sjæl: "Fly som en Fugl til Bjergene!

1 For the choir director. A Psalm of David.In the Lord I take refuge;How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain;

2 Thi se, de gudløse spænder Buen, lægger Pilen til Rette på Strengen for i Mørke at ramme de oprigtige af Hjertet.

2 For, behold, the wicked bend the bow,They make ready their arrow upon the stringTo shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

3 Når selv Grundpillerne styrter, hvad gør den retfærdige da?"

3 If the foundations are destroyed,What can the righteous do?”

4 HERREN er i sin hellige Hal, i Himlen er HERRENs Trone; på Jorderig skuer hans Øjne ned, hans Blik ransager Menneskens Børn;

4 The Lord is in His holy temple; the Lord’s throne is in heaven;His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men.

5 retfærdige og gudløse ransager HERREN; dem, der elsker Uret, hader hans Sjæl;

5 The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked,And the one who loves violence His soul hates.

6 over gudløse sender han Regn af Gløder og Svovl, et Stormvejr er deres tilmålte Bæger.

6 Upon the wicked He will rain snares;Fire and brimstone and burning wind will be the portion of their cup.

7 Thi retfærdig er HERREN, han elsker at øve Retfærd, de oprigtige skuer hans Åsyn! 

7 For the Lord is righteous, He loves righteousness;The upright will behold His face.
