Salme 85
1 Til Sangmesteren; af Koras Børn, en Psalme.
TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. You have accepted, O YHWH, Your land, You have turned [to] the captivity of Jacob.
2 Herre! du har haft Velbehag til dit Land, du har ført Jakobs fangne Folk tilbage.
You have carried away the iniquity of Your people, You have covered all their sin. (Selah)
3 Du har borttaget dit Folks Misgerning, du har skjult al deres Synd. (Sela)
You have gathered up all Your wrath, You have turned back from the fierceness of Your anger.
4 Du har draget al din Harme tilbage, du har bortvendt din grumme Vrede.
Turn back [to] us, O God of our salvation, And make void Your anger with us.
5 Hjælp os op igen, vor Frelses Gud! og tilintetgør din Fortørnelse imod os.
Are You angry against us for all time? Do You draw out Your anger To generation and generation?
6 Vil du evindelig være vred paa os? vil du udstrække din Vrede fra Slægt til Slægt?
Do You not turn back? You revive us, And Your people rejoice in You.
7 Vil du ikke gøre os levende igen, at dit Folk maa glæde sig i dig?
Show us, O YHWH, your kindness, And You give to us Your salvation.
8 Herre! lad os se din Miskundhed og giv os din Frelse.
I hear what God, YHWH, speaks, For He speaks peace to His people, And to His saints, and they do not turn back to folly.
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.
Surely His salvation [is] near to those fearing Him, That glory may dwell in our land.
10 Ja, hans Frelse er nær hos dem, som ham frygte, at Herlighed maa bo i vort Land.
Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed,
11 Miskundhed og Sandhed møde hinanden; Retfærdighed og Fred kysse hinanden.
Truth springs up from the earth, And righteousness looks out from the heavens,
12 Sandhed vokser op af Jorden, og Retfærdighed ser ned af Himmelen.
YHWH also gives that which is good, And our land gives its increase.
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!
Righteousness goes before Him, And makes a way for His footsteps!
