Salme 85
1 Til Sangmesteren. Af Koras Sønner. En Salme.
“For the leader of the music. A psalm of the sons of Korah.” O LORD! thou hast been favorable to thy land; Thou hast brought back the captives of Jacob;
2 Du var naadig, HERRE, imod dit Land, du vendte Jakobs Skæbne,
Thou didst forgive the iniquity of thy people, And cover all their sins! (Pause)
3 tog Skylden bort fra dit Folk og skjulte al deres Synd. (Sela)
Thou didst take away all thy displeasure, And abate the fierceness of thy wrath.
4 Du lod al din Vrede fare, tvang din glødende Harme.
Restore us, O God of our salvation! And let thine anger towards us cease!
5 Vend tilbage, vor Frelses Gud, hør op med din Uvilje mod os!
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt thou continue thy wrath from generation to generation?
6 Vil du vredes paa os for evigt, holde fast ved din Harme fra Slægt til Slægt?
Wilt thou not revive 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 compassion, 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: Truly he will speak peace to his people, and to his servants; Only 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;
Yea, his salvation is near to those who 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 shall meet together, Righteousness and peace shall kiss each other;
11 Miskundhed og Sandhed mødes, Retfærd og Fred skal kysse hinanden;
Truth shall spring out of the earth; Righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12 af Jorden spirer Sandhed frem, fra Himlen skuer Retfærd ned.
Yea, Jehovah will give prosperity, 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 set us in the way of his steps.
