1 Hedninger er trængt ind i din arvelod, Gud de har besmittet dit hellige Tempel og gjort Jerusalem til en Stenhob;

1 A Psalm of Asaph.O God, the nations have invaded Your inheritance;They have defiled Your holy temple;They have laid Jerusalem in ruins.

2 de har givet Himlens Fugle dine Tjeneres Lig til Æde, Jordens vilde Dyr dine frommes Kød;

2 They have given the dead bodies of Your servants for food to the birds of the heavens,The flesh of Your godly ones to the beasts of the earth.

3 deres Blod har de udøst som Vand omkring Jerusalem, ingen jorder dem;

3 They have poured out their blood like water round about Jerusalem;And there was no one to bury them.

4 vore Naboer er vi til Hån, vore Grander til Spot og Spe.

4 We have become a reproach to our neighbors,A scoffing and derision to those around us.

5 Hvor længe vredes du, HERRE - for evigt? hvor længe skal din Nidkærhed lue som Ild?

5 How long, O Lord? Will You be angry forever?Will Your jealousy burn like fire?

6 Udøs din Vrede på Folk, der ikke kender dig, på Riger, som ikke påkalder dit Navn;

6 Pour out Your wrath upon the nations which do not know You,And upon the kingdoms which do not call upon Your name.

7 thi de har opædt Jakob og lagt hans Bolig øde.

7 For they have devoured JacobAnd laid waste his habitation.

8 Tilregn os ikke Fædrenes Brøde, lad din Barmhjertighed komme os snarlig i Møde, thi vi er såre ringe,

8 Do not remember the iniquities of our forefathers against us;Let Your compassion come quickly to meet us,For we are brought very low.

9 Hjælp os, vor Frelses Gud, for dit Navns Æres Skyld, fri os, forlad vore Synder for dit Navns Skyld!

9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name;And deliver us and forgive our sins for Your name’s sake.

10 Hvorfor skal Hedninger sige: "Hvor er deres Gud?" Lad dine Tjeneres udgydt Blod blive hævnet på Hedningerne for vore Øjne!

10 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”Let there be known among the nations in our sight,Vengeance for the blood of Your servants which has been shed.

11 Lad de fangnes Suk nå hen for dit Åsyn, udløs Dødens Børn efter din Arms Vælde,

11 Let the groaning of the prisoner come before You;According to the greatness of Your power preserve those who are doomed to die.

12 lad syvfold Gengæld ramme vore Naboer for Hånen, de viser dig, Herre!

12 And return to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosomThe reproach with which they have reproached You, O Lord.

13 Men vi dit Folk og den Hjord, du røgter, vi vil evindelig takke dig, forkynde din Pris fra Slægt til Slægt! 

13 So we Your people and the sheep of Your pastureWill give thanks to You forever;To all generations we will tell of Your praise.
