Salme 108
1 En Sang, en Psalme af David.
God, I am (very confident/trusting completely) [IDM] in you. I will sing to praise [you]. with all my inner being.
2 Trøstigt er mit Hjerte, o Gud! jeg vil synge, jeg vil lege paa Harpe, ogsaa min Ære skal juble.
I will arise before the sun rises, and I will [praise you while I play] my [big] harp and my (lyre/small harp).
3 Vaagn op, Psalter og Harpe! jeg vil vække Morgenrøden.
[I prayed], “Yahweh, I will thank you among [all] the people-groups; I will sing to praise you among the nations,
4 Jeg vil takke dig, Herre! iblandt Folkene og lege paa Harpe for dig iblandt Folkestammer.
because your faithful love for us reaches up to the heavens, and your faithfully doing what you promise [is as great as the distance] up to the clouds.
5 Thi din Miskundhed er stor over Himlene og din Sandhed indtil Skyerne.
Yahweh, [show] in the heavens that you are very great! And [show] your glory [to people] all over the earth!
6 Ophøj dig, Gud! over Himlene, og din Ære være over al Jorden!
Answer our [prayers] and by your power help us [MTY] [to defeat our enemies] in order that we, the people whom you love, may be saved/rescued.”
7 Paa det dine elskelige maa udfries, saa frels med din højre Haand og bønhør os!
And [Yahweh answered our prayers and] spoke from his temple, saying, “Because I have conquered [your enemies], I will joyfully [everything in] [city] and I will distribute among my people [the valuable things] in Succoth Valley.
8 Gud har talt i sin Helligdom, jeg vil fryde mig; jeg vil uddele Sikem og opmaale Sukots Dal.
The Gilead [region] is mine; the [people of the tribe of] Manasseh are mine; [the tribe of] Ephraim is [like] my war helmet, and [the tribe of Judah] is like the (scepter/stick that I hold which shows that I am the ruler) [MET];
9 Mig hører Gilead til, mig hører Manasse til, og Efraim er mit Hoveds Værn, Juda er min Herskerstav.
the Moab [region] is [like] my washbasin [MET]; I throw my sandal in the Edom [area to show that it belongs to me]; I shout triumphantly because I have defeated [the people of] the Philistia [area].”
10 Moab er mit Vadskefad; jeg vil kaste min Sko til Edom; bryd ud i Jubel over mig, du Filisterland!
[Because we want to attack the people of] Edom, (who will lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it?/I want someone to lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it.) [RHQ]
11 Hvo vil føre mig tilden faste Stad? hvo har ledet mig til Edom?
God, we [hope that] [RHQ] you have not abandoned us, and that you will go with us when our army marches out [to fight our enemies].
12 Mon ikke du, Gud, som har forkastet os? og vil du, Gud, ikke uddrage med vore Hære?
[We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
13 Fly os Hjælp af Nød; thi Menneskers Hjælp er Forfængelighed. Ved Gud ville vi vinde Kraft; og han skal nedtræde vore Fjender.
[But] with you [helping us], we shall win; you will [enable us to] defeat our enemies.
