Salme 85
1 Til Sangmesteren. Af Koras Sønner. En Salme.
For the Leader. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. LORD, Thou hast been favourable unto Thy land, Thou hast turned the captivity of Jacob.
2 Du var naadig, HERRE, imod dit Land, du vendte Jakobs Skæbne,
Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast pardoned all their sin. (Selah)
3 tog Skylden bort fra dit Folk og skjulte al deres Synd. (Sela)
Thou hast withdrawn all Thy wrath; Thou hast turned from the fierceness of Thine anger.
4 Du lod al din Vrede fare, tvang din glødende Harme.
Restore us, O God of our salvation, and cause Thine indignation toward us to cease.
5 Vend tilbage, vor Frelses Gud, hør op med din Uvilje mod os!
Wilt Thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt Thou draw out Thine anger to all generations?
6 Vil du vredes paa os for evigt, holde fast ved din Harme fra Slægt til Slægt?
Wilt Thou not quicken us again, that Thy people may rejoice in Thee?
7 Vil du ikke skænke os Liv Paa ny, saa dit Folk kan glæde sig i dig!
Show us Thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us Thy salvation.
8 Lad os skue din Miskundhed, HERRE, din Frelse give du os!
I will hear what God the LORD will speak; for He will speak peace unto His people, and to His saints; but let them not turn back 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 nigh them that fear Him; that glory may dwell in our land.
10 ja, nær er hans Frelse for dem, som frygter ham, snart skal Herlighed bo i vort Land;
Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11 Miskundhed og Sandhed mødes, Retfærd og Fred skal kysse hinanden;
Truth springeth out of the earth; and righteousness hath looked down from heaven.
12 af Jorden spirer Sandhed frem, fra Himlen skuer Retfærd ned.
Yea, the LORD will give that which is good; and our land shall yield her produce.
13 Derhos giver HERREN Lykke, sin Afgrøde giver vort Land; Retfærd vandrer foran ham og følger ogsaa hans Fjed.
Righteousness shall go before Him, and shall make His footsteps a way.
