Salme 95
1 Kommer, lader os synge med Fryd for Herren, lader os raabe af Glæde for vor Frelses Klippe!
Come, sing to Yahweh; sing joyfully to the one who protects us [MET] and saves us!
2 Lader os komme frem for hans Ansigt med Tak, lader os raabe af Glæde for ham med Psalmer!
We should thank him as we come before him, and sing (joyful songs/joyfully) as we praise him.
3 Thi Herren er en stor Gud, ja, en stor Konge over alle Guder.
Because Yahweh is the great God, he is a great king [who rules] over all [other] gods.
4 I hans Haand ere Jordens Dybder, og Bjergenes Højder høre ham til.
He rules over the whole earth, from the deepest places/caves to the highest mountains.
5 Havet er hans, og han har skabt det, og hans Hænder have dannet det tørre Land.
The seas are his, because he made them. He is [also] the one who [SYN] formed/made the dry land.
6 Kommer, lader os tilbede og nedbøje os, lader os bøje Knæ for Herren, vor Skabers Ansigt!
We should come, worship, and bow down before him. We should kneel before Yahweh, the one who made us.
7 Thi han er vor Gud, og vi ere det Folk, han føder, og den Hjord, hans Haand leder: Vilde I dog i Dag høre hans Røst!
He is our God, and we are the people whom he takes care of [MET]; like sheep [that a shepherd] takes care of. Today, listen to what Yahweh is saying to you.
8 Forhærder ikke eders Hjerte, som ved Meriba, som paa den Dag ved Massa udi Ørken,
He says, “Do not become stubborn [IDM] like [your ancestors] did at Meribah, and like [they did] at Massah in the desert.
9 hvor eders Fædre fristede mig; de prøvede mig, og de saa min Gerning.
There your ancestors (wanted to see/tried to determine) if they could do many very evil things [without my punishing them]. Even though they had seen me perform [many] miracles, they tested whether I [would continue to be patient with them].
10 Fyrretyve Aar kededes jeg ved den Slægt og sagde: De ere et Folk, som farer vild med Hjertet, de kendte ikke mine Veje,
For 40 years I was angry with those people, and I said, ‘Those people say that they want to please me, but they do things that I detest. They refuse to obey my commands.’
11 saa at jeg svor i min Vrede: De skulle ikke komme til min Hvile!
So because I was very angry, I solemnly said/declared about them: ‘They will never enter [the land of Canaan] where I would have allowed them to rest!’”
