[Uses old present tense plural forms, though not consistently. The present tense plural used to be identical to the infinitive for all verbs except vara. The modern form appears inside "[]".]
Prövningar vi möta få[r], och vi ofta ej förstå[r] Herrens vägar när Han önskar att vi himlen skola [ska(ll)] nå. Sina barn Han leder här, genom sorger och besvär. Vi förstår [modern form] Hans vägar bättre ovan där. Ovan där randas morgonen, och där hemma samlas helgonen. Vi skall [modern form] då förtälja om vår resa här. Vi förstår [modern form] Hans vägar bättre ovan där. Här vi känna [känner] brist och nöd, sakna[r] ofta hjälp och stöd. [Den] trötta anden hungrar, törstar under ökenfärden här. Men vi tro[r] på Herren Gud, lita[r] helt uppå Hans bud. Vi förstår [modern form] Hans vägar bättre ovan där. Ovan där ... [as before]. Frestar'n [Frestaren] lägger ut försåt, snaror på vår levnadsstråt. Hjärtat gråter för vart fåfängt ord och tanklös gärning här. Men vi tro[r] på Herren Gud ... [as before].

1964, “Ovan där [Up there [Above there]]”, in Ivar Lindestad (lyrics), Charles Albert Tindley (music), Tjyvballader och barnatro [Thief ballads and childhood faith], performed by Jailbird Singers:

Trials we face ["trials we meet get-to" – lyrical phrasing], and we often don't understand the Lord's ways when He wishes for us to reach heaven [when He wishes that we [the] heaven shall reach]. His children He leads here, through sorrows and troubles. We understand His ways better up there. Up there the morning dawns, and [there] at home the saints gather. We will then tell of our journey here. We understand His ways better up there. Here we feel lack and need, often lack help and support. Our tired spirit hungers, thirsts during our desert journey here. But we have faith in the Lord God, rely entirely on His word. We understand His ways better up there. Up there ... [as before]. The tempter lays out traps, snares on our life's path. Our heart bleeds [cries] for every vain word and thoughtless deed here. But we have faith in the Lord God ... [as before].

Jag menar att det är frågan om en skjutning i vägens riktning och att det inte har funnits något fullgott kulfång. […] Den avgörande frågan som rätten nu har att ta ställning till det är om det fanns ett fullgott kulfång bakom älgen när jägaren sköt eller inte.

2011 November 30, “Yrkar på villkorlig dom för jägare [Prosecution calls for conditional sentence for hunter]”, in P4 Kalmar, Sveriges Radio:

I argue that this is a case of shooting in the direction of the road and that there has not been an adequate backstop. […] The crucial question the court must now consider is whether there was an adequate backstop behind the moose when the hunter shot or not.

Han hävdar dessutom att det var kulfång i marken när han sköt med sin nya halvautomatiska Ruger 10/22-bössa nära bostaden. […] Det var tio skott mot en betesvall som kulfång, hävdar skytten. […] Jag stod på en avsats och sköt neråt mot en svacka på åkervallen där jorden var kulfång.

2020 August 18, Anders Ljung, “Jägarens hus omringades av poliser [The hunter's house was surrounded by police]”, in Jakt & Jägare:

He also claims that there was a backstop in the ground when he shot with his new semi-automatic Ruger 10/22 rifle near the residence. […] He asserts that there were ten shots fired at a pasture bank that served as a backstop. […] I was standing on a ledge and shot downward into a dip in the field where the ground was the backstop.

En 25-åring utanför Hässleholm sköt en häst när han siktat på en räv. Det gör att han kan misstänks för grov oaktsamhet. Skottet med en klass 1-studsare avlossades vid ett öppet fält utan kulfång och var ”helt tokigt”, enligt polisen.

2024 February 22, Anders Ljung, “Polisen ser skjuten häst som grov oaktsamhet [Police consider horse shooting as gross negligence]”, in Jaktjournalen:

A 25-year-old outside Hässleholm shot a horse while aiming at a fox. This may lead to him being suspected of gross negligence. The shot with a Class 1 moose rifle was fired over an open field without a backstop and was “completely reckless,” according to the police.
