Salme 36
1 Til Sangmesteren; af David, Herrens Tjener.
For the chief musician. A psalm of David the servant of Yahweh. An evil man speaks of his transgression from deep in his heart, there is no fear of God in his eyes.
2 Den ugudeliges Overtrædelser sige mig inden i mit Hjerte: Der er ikke Guds Frygt for hans Øjne.
For he comforts himself, thinking that his sin will not be discovered and be hated.
3 Thi han smigrer for sig selv i sine Øjne, med Hensyn til, at hans Misgerning skulde blive fundet og hadet.
His words are sinful and deceitful; he does not want to be wise and do good.
4 Hans Munds Ord ere Uret og Svig; han har ladet af at handle viselig, at gøre godt.
While he lies in bed, he plans ways to sin; he sets out on an evil way; he does not reject evil.
5 Han optænker Uret paa sit Leje; han stiller sig paa en Vej, der ikke er god, det onde forkaster han ikke.
Your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, reaches to the heavens; your loyalty reaches to the clouds.
6 Herre! din Miskundhed er i Himlene; din Sandhed naar til Skyerne.
Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the great deep. Yahweh, you preserve both mankind and the animals.
7 Din Retfærdighed er som Gudsbjerge, dine Domme som det store Dyb; Herre! du frelser Mennesker og Dyr.
How precious is your covenant faithfulness, God! Humanity takes refuge under the shadow of your wings.
8 Gud! hvor dyrebar er din Miskundhed; og Menneskens Børn skulle skjule sig under dine Vingers Skygge.
They feast upon the abundance of your house; you let them drink from the river of your delights.
9 De skulle mættes af dit Hus's Fedme, og du skal give dem at drikke af din Lifligheds Bæk.
For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we will see light.
10 Thi hos dig er Livets Kilde; i dit Lys skulle vi se Lys.
Extend your covenant faithfulness fully to those who know you, your defense to the upright of heart.
11 Lad din Miskundhed vare ved imod dem, som dig kende, og din Retfærdighed imod de oprigtige af Hjertet.
Do not let the foot of the arrogant man come near to me. Do not let the hand of the wicked drive me away.
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.
Over there the evildoers have fallen; they are knocked down and are not able to get up.
