Another Mystery - Can You Help With Some Danish Translation?

This stunning Danish sampler along with about 300 others will be in Volume II of the Micheál and Elizabeth Feller Collection. We would like to translate the text that runs across the top. It is made more difficult by the fact that some of the stitching is faded. I think it reads: Frygt gud hav sandhed kier elsk din naeste hvem han er er han fattig gud er kiend dig selv gud hielper dig. Just click on the image below for a larger image to help you. Now we have a translation - thank you Marianne!

    Greetings from Denmark

    Frygt gud hav sandhed kier elsk din naeste hvem han er er han fattig gud er kiend dig selv gud hielper dig

    Fear God have truth love your next whoever he may be is he poor God is know yourself God (will) help you

    the (will) is in parentheses as it isn't in the text, but makes sense here.
