Salme 36
1 Til Sangmesteren; af David, Herrens Tjener.
Unto the end, for the servant of God, David himself. The unjust hath said within himself, that he would sin: there is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 Den ugudeliges Overtrædelser sige mig inden i mit Hjerte: Der er ikke Guds Frygt for hans Øjne.
For in his sight he hath done deceitfully, that his iniquity may be found unto hatred.
3 Thi han smigrer for sig selv i sine Øjne, med Hensyn til, at hans Misgerning skulde blive fundet og hadet.
The words of his mouth are iniquity and guile: he would not understand that he might do well.
4 Hans Munds Ord ere Uret og Svig; han har ladet af at handle viselig, at gøre godt.
He hath devised iniquity on his bed, he hath set himself on every way that is not good: but evil he hath not hated.
5 Han optænker Uret paa sit Leje; han stiller sig paa en Vej, der ikke er god, det onde forkaster han ikke.
O Lord, thy mercy is in heaven, and thy truth reacheth, even to the clouds.
6 Herre! din Miskundhed er i Himlene; din Sandhed naar til Skyerne.
Thy justice is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are a great deep. Men and beasts thou wilt preserve, O Lord:
7 Din Retfærdighed er som Gudsbjerge, dine Domme som det store Dyb; Herre! du frelser Mennesker og Dyr.
O how hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! But the children of men shall put their trust under the covert of thy wings.
8 Gud! hvor dyrebar er din Miskundhed; og Menneskens Børn skulle skjule sig under dine Vingers Skygge.
They shall be inebriated with the plenty of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the torrent of thy pleasure.
9 De skulle mættes af dit Hus's Fedme, og du skal give dem at drikke af din Lifligheds Bæk.
For with thee is the fountain of life; and in thy light we shall see light.
10 Thi hos dig er Livets Kilde; i dit Lys skulle vi se Lys.
Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy justice to them that are right in heart.
11 Lad din Miskundhed vare ved imod dem, som dig kende, og din Retfærdighed imod de oprigtige af Hjertet.
Let not the foot of pride come to me, and let not the hand of the sinner move me.
12 Lad den hovmodiges Fod ikke komme over mig og de ugudeliges Haand ikke bortstøde mig. Hist faldt de, som gjorde Uret; de bleve nedstødte og kunde ikke staa op.
There the workers of iniquity are fallen, they are cast out, and could not stand.
