< Salme 132 >

1 Herre! kom David i Hu for alle hans Lidelser,
A song of ascents. O LORD, remember on behalf of David all the hardships he endured,
2 ham, som tilsvor Herren og lovede Jakobs mægtige:
how he swore an oath to the LORD, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3 „Jeg vil ikke gaa ind i mit Hus's Telt, jeg vil ikke opstige paa min Sengs Leje;
“I will not enter my house or get into my bed,
4 jeg vil ikke lade mine Øjne sove, eller mine Øjenlaage blunde,
I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,
5 førend jeg finder et Sted for Herren, en Bolig for Jakobs mægtige.‟
until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6 Se, vi hørte om den i Efrata; vi fandt den paa Jaars Mark.
We heard that the ark was in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.
7 Vi ville gaa ind i hans Bolig, vi ville tilbede for hans Fødders Fodskammel.
Let us go to His dwelling place; let us worship at His footstool.
8 Herre! staa op til din Hvile, du og din Magts Ark.
Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.
9 Lad dine Præster klæde sig med Retfærdighed og dine hellige synge med Fryd.
May Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and Your saints shout for joy.
10 For David, din Tjeners Skyld, forskyd ikke din Salvedes Ansigt!
For the sake of Your servant David, do not reject Your anointed one.
11 Herren tilsvor David den Sandhed, fra hvilken han ikke vilde vige: „Af dit Livs Frugt vil jeg sætte en Mand paa din Trone.‟
The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise He will not revoke: “One of your descendants I will place on your throne.
12 Dersom dine Børn holde min Pagt og mine Vidnesbyrd, som jeg vil lære dem, da skulle og deres Børn altid sidde paa din Trone.
If your sons keep My covenant and the testimony I will teach them, then their sons will also sit on your throne forever and ever.”
13 Thi Herren har udvalgt Zion, han har begæret sig den til Bolig:
For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His home:
14 „Den er min Hvile altid, her vil jeg bo; thi jeg har begæret den.
“This is My resting place forever and ever; here I will dwell, for I have desired this home.
15 Jeg vil velsigne Spisen der, jeg vil mætte de fattige der med Brød.
I will bless her with abundant provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16 Og jeg vil klæde dens Præster med Salighed, og dens hellige skulle synge med Fryd.
I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will sing out in joy.
17 Der vil jeg lade et Horn opvokse for David; jeg har beredt en Lampe for min Salvede.
There I will make a horn grow for David; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.
18 Hans Fjender vil jeg klæde i Skam, men paa ham skal hans Krone blomstre.
I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown upon him will gleam.”
