Norwegian 2018 (Bibelen - Guds Ord Hverdagsbibelen (Hermon Forlag))
Halleluja! Lovpris Herren, min sjel! Jeg vil lovprise Herren så lenge jeg lever. Jeg vil lovsynge min Gud så lenge jeg er til. Ikke stol på mektige mennesker. Det er ingen frelse å få hos dem. De lever og blir borte. De dør og blir til jord. Den dagen de dør, opphører deres planer, de blir til ingenting.
