Salme 65
1 Til Sangmesteren; en Psalme af David; en Sang.
Unto the end. A Psalm of David. A Canticle of Jeremiah and Ezekiel to the people of the captivity, when they began to go into exile. O God, a hymn adorns you in Zion, and a vow will be repaid to you in Jerusalem.
2 Gud! man lover dig i det stille i Zion, og dig skal betales Løfte.
Hear my prayer: all flesh will come to you.
3 Du, som hører Bønnen, hen til dig tyr alt Kød.
Words of iniquity have prevailed over us. And you will pardon our impieties.
4 Misgerningerne ere blevne mig for svare; vore Overtrædelser, dem ville du sone!
Blessed is he whom you have chosen and taken up. He will dwell in your courts. We will be filled with the good things of your house. Holy is your temple:
5 Salig er den, som du udvælger og lader komme nær, at han maa bo i dine Forgaarde; vi skulle mættes med dit Hus's Gode, i dit Tempels Helligdom.
wonderful in equity. Hear us, O God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of a sea far away.
6 Forfærdelige Ting skal du, vor Frelses Gud, svare os i Retfærdighed, du, som er en Fortrøstning for den hele vide Jord og Havet i det fjerne.
You prepare the mountains in your virtue, wrapped with power.
7 Han gør Bjergene faste ved sin Kraft, han er omgjordet med Vælde;
You stir up the depths of the sea, the noise of its waves. The nations will be troubled,
8 han stiller Havets Brusen, dets Bølgers Brusen derudi og Folkenes Bulder.
and those who dwell at the limits will be afraid, before your signs. You will make the passing of morning and evening enjoyable.
9 Og de, som bo ved det yderste, frygte for dine Tegn; du fylder Morgenens og Aftenens Frembrud med Jubel.
You have visited the earth, and you have saturated it. You have enriched it in so many ways. The river of God has been filled with water. You have prepared their food. For thus is its preparation.
10 Du har besøgt Jorden og givet den Overflod, du gør den meget rig; Guds Bæk er fuld af Vand, du bereder dem Korn, thi dertil gør du Jorden skikket.
Drench its streams, multiply its fruits; it will spring up and rejoice in its showers.
11 Du vander dens Furer, du nedtrykker det pløjede; du gør den blød med Regn, du velsigner dens Grøde.
You will bless the crown of the year with your kindness, and your fields will be filled with abundance.
12 Du kroner Aaret med dit Gode, og dine Fodspor dryppe med Fedme.
The beauty of the desert will fatten, and the hills will be wrapped with exultation.
13 Græsgangene i Ørken dryppe, og Højene ere omgjordede med Fryd. Engene ere klædte med Faarehjorde, og Dalene ere skjulte med Korn; de juble, ja de synge.
The rams of the sheep have been clothed, and the valleys will abound with grain. They will cry out; yes, they will even utter a hymn.
