Salme 85
1 Til Sangmesteren. Af Koras Sønner. En Salme.
Lord, you have been favorable to your land: you have brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2 Du var naadig, HERRE, imod dit Land, du vendte Jakobs Skæbne,
You have forgiven the iniquity of your people, you have covered all their sin. (Selah)
3 tog Skylden bort fra dit Folk og skjulte al deres Synd. (Sela)
You have taken away all your wrath: you have turned yourself from the fierceness of your anger.
4 Du lod al din Vrede fare, tvang din glødende Harme.
Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause your anger toward us to cease.
5 Vend tilbage, vor Frelses Gud, hør op med din Uvilje mod os!
Will you be angry with us for ever? 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 mercy, O LORD, and grant us your 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 to his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again 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 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 shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12 af Jorden spirer Sandhed frem, fra Himlen skuer Retfærd ned.
Yes, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
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 set us in the way of his steps.
