1 Hvorfor fnyser Hedninger, hvi pønser Folkefærd på hvad fåfængt er?

1 Why are the nations in an uproarAnd the peoples devising a vain thing?

2 Jordens Konger rejser sig, Fyrster samles til Råd mod HERREN og mod hans Salvede:

2 The kings of the earth take their standAnd the rulers take counsel togetherAgainst the Lord and against His Anointed, saying,

3 "Lad os sprænge deres Bånd og kaste Rebene af os!"

3 “Let us tear their fetters apartAnd cast away their cords from us!”

4 Han, som troner i Himlen, ler, Herren, han spotter dem.

4 He who sits in the heavens laughs,The Lord scoffs at them.

5 Så taler han til dem i Vrede, forfærder dem i sin Harme:

5 Then He will speak to them in His angerAnd terrify them in His fury, saying,

6 "Jeg har dog indsat min Konge på Zion, mit hellige Bjerg!"

6 “But as for Me, I have installed My KingUpon Zion, My holy mountain.”

7 Jeg kundgør HERRENs Tilsagn. Han sagde til mig: "Du er min Søn, jeg har født dig i Dag!

7 “I will surely tell of the decree of the Lord:He said to Me, ‘You are My Son,Today I have begotten You.

8 Bed mig, og jeg giver dig Hedningefolk til Arv og den vide Jord i Eje;

8 ‘Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance,And the very ends of the earth as Your possession.

9 med Jernspir skal du knuse dem og sønderslå dem som en Pottemagers Kar!"

9 ‘You shall break them with a rod of iron,You shall shatter them like earthenware.’”

10 Og nu, I Konger, vær kloge, lad eder råde, I Jordens Dommere,

10 Now therefore, O kings, show discernment;Take warning, O judges of the earth.

11 tjener HERREN i Frygt, fryd jer med Bæven!

11 Worship the Lord with reverenceAnd rejoice with trembling.

12 Kysser Sønnen, at ikke han vredes og I forgår! Snart blusset hans Vrede op. Salig hver den, der lider på ham! 

12 Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way,For His wrath may soon be kindled.How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!
