Salme 85
1 Til Sangmesteren; af Koras Børn, en Psalme.
Unto the end. A Psalm to the sons of Korah. O Lord, you have blessed your land. You have turned aside the captivity of Jacob.
2 Herre! du har haft Velbehag til dit Land, du har ført Jakobs fangne Folk tilbage.
You have released the iniquity of your people. You have covered all their sins.
3 Du har borttaget dit Folks Misgerning, du har skjult al deres Synd. (Sela)
You have mitigated all your wrath. You have turned aside from the wrath of your indignation.
4 Du har draget al din Harme tilbage, du har bortvendt din grumme Vrede.
Convert us, O God, our Savior, and turn your anger away from us.
5 Hjælp os op igen, vor Frelses Gud! og tilintetgør din Fortørnelse imod os.
Will you be angry with us forever? And will you extend your wrath from generation to generation?
6 Vil du evindelig være vred paa os? vil du udstrække din Vrede fra Slægt til Slægt?
O God, you will turn back and revive us. And your people will rejoice in you.
7 Vil du ikke gøre os levende igen, at dit Folk maa glæde sig i dig?
O Lord, reveal to us your mercy, and grant to us your salvation.
8 Herre! lad os se din Miskundhed og giv os din Frelse.
I will listen to what the Lord God may be saying to me. For he will speak peace to his people, and to his saints, and to those who are being converted to the heart.
9 Jeg vil høre, hvad Gud Herren tater; thi han skal tale Fred til sit Folk og til sine hellige, kun at de ikke vende tilbage til Daarlighed.
So then, truly his salvation is near to those who fear him, so that glory may inhabit our land.
10 Ja, hans Frelse er nær hos dem, som ham frygte, at Herlighed maa bo i vort Land.
Mercy and truth have met each other. Justice and peace have kissed.
11 Miskundhed og Sandhed møde hinanden; Retfærdighed og Fred kysse hinanden.
Truth has risen from the earth, and justice has gazed down from heaven.
12 Sandhed vokser op af Jorden, og Retfærdighed ser ned af Himmelen.
For so will the Lord give goodness, and our earth will give her fruit.
13 Dertil skal Herren give det gode, og vort Land give sin Grøde. Retfærdighed gaa frem for hans Ansigt og sætte sine Trin paa hans Vej!
Justice will walk before him, and he will set his steps upon the way.
