1 Til Korherren. Al-ha-sheminit. Salme af David. (12:2) HERRE, hjælp, thi de fromme er borte, svundet er Troskab blandt Menneskens Børn;

1 For the choir director; upon an eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm of David.Help, Lord, for the godly man ceases to be,For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.

2 (12:3) de taler Løgn, den ene til den anden, med svigefulde Læber og tvedelt Hjerte.

2 They speak falsehood to one another;With flattering lips and with a double heart they speak.

3 (12:4) Hver svigefuld Læbe udrydde HERREN, den Tunge, der taler store Ord,

3 May the Lord cut off all flattering lips,The tongue that speaks great things;

4 (12:5) dem, som siger: "Vor Tunge gør os stærke, vore Læber er med os, hvo er vor Herre?"

4 Who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail;Our lips are our own; who is lord over us?”

5 (12:6) "For armes Nød og fattiges Suk vil jeg nu stå op", siger HERREN, "jeg frelser den, som man blæser ad."

5 “Because of the devastation of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the needy,Now I will arise,” says the Lord; “I will set him in the safety for which he longs.”

6 (12:7) HERRENs Ord er rene Ord, det pure, syvfold lutrede Sølv.

6 The words of the Lord are pure words;As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, refined seven times.

7 (12:8) HERRE, du vogter os, værner os evigt mod denne Slægt.

7 You, O Lord, will keep them;You will preserve him from this generation forever.

8 (12:9) De gudløse færdes frit overalt, når Skarn ophøjes blandt Menneskens Børn. 

8 The wicked strut about on every sideWhen vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
