1 Halleluja! Pris HERREN, min Sjæl!

1 Praise the Lord!Praise the Lord, O my soul!

2 Jeg vil prise HERREN hele mit Liv, lovsynge min Gud, så længe jeg lever.

2 I will praise the Lord while I live;I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

3 Sæt ikke eders Lid til Fyrster, til et Menneskebarn, der ikke kan hjælpe!

3 Do not trust in princes,In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation.

4 Hans Ånd går bort, han bliver til Jord igen, hans Råd er bristet samme Dag.

4 His spirit departs, he returns to the earth;In that very day his thoughts perish.

5 Salig den, hvis Hjælp er Jakobs Gud, hvis Håb står til HERREN hans Gud,

5 How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,Whose hope is in the Lord his God,

6 som skabte Himmel og Jord, Havet og alf, hvad de rummer, som evigt bevarer sin Trofasthed

6 Who made heaven and earth,The sea and all that is in them;Who keeps faith forever;

7 og skaffer de undertrykte Ret, som giver de sultne Brød! HERREN løser de fangne,

7 Who executes justice for the oppressed;Who gives food to the hungry.The Lord sets the prisoners free.

8 HERREN åbner de blindes Øjne, HERREN rejser de bøjede, HERREN elsker de retfærdige,

8 The Lord opens the eyes of the blind;The Lord raises up those who are bowed down;The Lord loves the righteous;

9 HERREN vogter de fremmede, opholder faderløse og Enker, men gudløses Vej gør han kroget.

9 The Lord protects the strangers;He supports the fatherless and the widow,But He thwarts the way of the wicked.

10 HERREN er Konge for evigt, din Gud, o Zion, fra Slægt til Slægt. Halleluja! 

10 The Lord will reign forever,Your God, O Zion, to all generations.Praise the Lord!
