1 De trængte mig hårdt fra min ungdom - så siger Israel -

1 A Song of Ascents.“Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up,”Let Israel now say,

2 de trængte mig hårdt fra min Ungdom, men kued mig ikke.

2 “Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up;Yet they have not prevailed against me.

3 Plovmænd pløjed min Ryg, trak lange Furer;

3 “The plowers plowed upon my back;They lengthened their furrows.”

4 retfærdig er HERREN, han overskar de gudløses Reb.

4 The Lord is righteous;He has cut in two the cords of the wicked.

5 Alle, som hader Zion, skal vige med Skam,

5 May all who hate ZionBe put to shame and turned backward;

6 blive som Græs på Tage, der visner, førend det skyder Strå,

6 Let them be like grass upon the housetops,Which withers before it grows up;

7 og ikke fylder Høstkarlens Hånd og Opbinderens Favn;

7 With which the reaper does not fill his hand,Or the binder of sheaves his bosom;

8 Folk, som går forbi, siger ikke: "HERRENs Velsignelse over eder! Vi velsigner eder i HERRENs Navn!" 

8 Nor do those who pass by say,“The blessing of the Lord be upon you;We bless you in the name of the Lord.”
