1 Til Korherren. Af Herrens Tjener. Af David (36:2) Synden taler til den Gudløse inde i hans Hjerte; Gudsfrygt har han ikke for Øje;

1 For the choir director. A Psalm of David the servant of the Lord.Transgression speaks to the ungodly within his heart;There is no fear of God before his eyes.

2 (36:3) thi den smigrer ham frækt og siger, at ingen skal finde hans Brøde og hade ham.

2 For it flatters him in his own eyesConcerning the discovery of his iniquity and the hatred of it.

3 (36:4) Hans Munds Ord er Uret og Svig, han har ophørt at handle klogt og godt;

3 The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit;He has ceased to be wise and to do good.

4 (36:5) på sit Leje udtænker han Uret, han træder en Vej, som ikke er god; det onde afskyr han ikke.

4 He plans wickedness upon his bed;He sets himself on a path that is not good;He does not despise evil.

5 (36:6) HERRE, din Miskundhed rækker til Himlen, din Trofasthed når til Skyerne,

5 Your lovingkindness, O Lord, extends to the heavens,Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

6 (36:7) din Retfærd er som Guds Bjerge, dine Domme som det store Dyb; HERRE, du frelser Folk og Fæ,

6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;Your judgments are like a great deep.O Lord, You preserve man and beast.

7 (36:8) hvor dyrebar er dog din Miskundhed, Gud! Og Menneskebørnene skjuler sig i dine Vingers Skygge;

7 How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.

8 (36:9) de kvæges ved dit Huses Fedme, du læsker dem af din Lifligheds Strøm;

8 They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house;And You give them to drink of the river of Your delights.

9 (36:10) thi hos dig er Livets Kilde, i dit Lys skuer vi Lys!

9 For with You is the fountain of life;In Your light we see light.

10 (36:11) Lad din Miskundhed blive over dem, der kender dig, din Retfærd over de oprigtige af Hjertet.

10 O continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You,And Your righteousness to the upright in heart.

11 (36:12) Lad Hovmods Fod ej træde mig ned, gudløses Hånd ej jage mig bort.

11 Let not the foot of pride come upon me,And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.

12 (36:13) Se, Udådsmændene falder, slås ned, så de ikke kan rejse sig. 

12 There the doers of iniquity have fallen;They have been thrust down and cannot rise.
