Salme 130

1 Af det dybe raaber jeg til dig, Herre!

A Canticle in steps. From the depths, I have cried out to you, O Lord.

2 Herre! hør paa min Røst; lad dine Øren mærke paa mine ydmyge Begæringers Røst.

O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

3 Dersom du, Herre, vil tage Vare paa Misgerninger, Herre! hvo kan da bestaa?

If you, O Lord, were to heed iniquities, who, O Lord, could persevere?

4 Men hos dig er Forladelse, paa det du maa frygtes.

For with you, there is forgiveness, and because of your law, I persevered with you, Lord. My soul has persevered in his word.

5 Jeg biede efter Herren, min Sjæl biede, og jeg haabede paa hans Ord.

My soul has hoped in the Lord.

6 Min Sjæl længes efter Herren mere end Vægtere efter Morgenen, Vægtere efter Morgenen.

From the morning watch, even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.

7 Israel! haab paa Herren; thi hos Herren er Miskundhed, og megen Forløsning er hos ham.

For with the Lord there is mercy, and with him there is bountiful redemption.

8 Og han skal forløse Israel af alle dets Misgerninger.

And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
