Salme 85
1 Til Sangmesteren. Af Koras Sønner. En Salme.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. You showed favor to Your land, O LORD; You restored Jacob from captivity.
2 Du var naadig, HERRE, imod dit Land, du vendte Jakobs Skæbne,
You forgave the iniquity of Your people; You covered all their sin.
3 tog Skylden bort fra dit Folk og skjulte al deres Synd. (Sela)
You withheld all Your fury; You turned from Your burning anger.
4 Du lod al din Vrede fare, tvang din glødende Harme.
Restore us, O God of our salvation, and put away Your displeasure toward us.
5 Vend tilbage, vor Frelses Gud, hør op med din Uvilje mod os!
Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out Your anger to all generations?
6 Vil du vredes paa os for evigt, holde fast ved din Harme fra Slægt til Slægt?
Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?
7 Vil du ikke skænke os Liv Paa ny, saa dit Folk kan glæde sig i dig!
Show us Your loving devotion, O LORD, and grant us Your salvation.
8 Lad os skue din Miskundhed, HERRE, din Frelse give du os!
I will listen to what God the LORD will say; for He will surely speak peace to His people and His saints; He will not let them return to folly.
9 Jeg vil høre, hvad Gud HERREN taler! Visselig taler han Fred til sit Folk og til sine fromme og til dem, der vender deres Hjerte til ham;
Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that His glory may dwell in our land.
10 ja, nær er hans Frelse for dem, som frygter ham, snart skal Herlighed bo i vort Land;
Loving devotion and faithfulness have joined together; righteousness and peace have kissed.
11 Miskundhed og Sandhed mødes, Retfærd og Fred skal kysse hinanden;
Faithfulness sprouts from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.
12 af Jorden spirer Sandhed frem, fra Himlen skuer Retfærd ned.
The LORD will indeed provide what is good, and our land will yield its increase.
13 Derhos giver HERREN Lykke, sin Afgrøde giver vort Land; Retfærd vandrer foran ham og følger ogsaa hans Fjed.
Righteousness will go before Him to prepare the way for His steps.
