Norwegian 2018 (Bibelen - Guds Ord Hverdagsbibelen (Hermon Forlag))
Dette er en klagesalme av David, men også en profeti om Jesu lidelse. Bevar meg, Gud, for jeg søker trygghet hos Deg. Min sjel sier til Herren: «Du er min Herre, og uten Deg finnes det ikke noe som virkelig er godt.» Om de som vil leve for deg på denne jord, må jeg si: «De er herlige, og jeg gleder meg over dem.» De som springer etter en annen gud, skal oppleve mange sorger. Jeg vil ikke være med på deres avgudsofring. Nei, jeg vil ikke en gang nevne deres navn.
