Salme 86
1 En Bøn af David. Bøj dit Øre, HERRE, og svar mig, thi jeg er arm og fattig!
[A Prayer by David.] Hear, Jehovah, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
2 Vogt min Sjæl, thi jeg ærer dig; frels din Tjener, som stoler paa dig!
Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You, my God, save your servant who trusts in you.
3 Vær mig naadig, Herre, du er min Gud; thi jeg raaber til dig Dagen igennem.
Be merciful to me, Jehovah, for I call to you all day long.
4 Glæd din Tjeners Sjæl, thi til dig, o Herre, løfter jeg min Sjæl;
Bring joy to the soul of your servant, for to you, Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.
5 thi du, o Herre, er god og rund til at forlade, rig paa Naade mod alle, der paakalder dig.
For you, Jehovah, are good, and ready to forgive; abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you.
6 Lyt til min Bøn, o HERRE, laan Øre til min tryglende Røst!
Hear, Jehovah, my prayer. Listen to the voice of my petitions.
7 Paa Nødens Dag paakalder jeg dig, thi du svarer mig.
In the day of my trouble I will call on you, for you will answer me.
8 Der er ingen som du blandt Guderne, Herre, og uden Lige er dine Gerninger.
There is no one like you among the gods, Jehovah, nor any deeds like your deeds.
9 Alle Folk, som du har skabt, skal komme, Herre, og tilbede dig, og de skal ære dit Navn.
All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Jehovah. They shall glorify your name.
10 Thi du er stor og gør vidunderlige Ting, du alene er Gud.
For you are great, and do wondrous things. You are God alone.
11 Lær mig, HERRE, din Vej, at jeg kan vandre i din Sandhed; vend mit Hjerte til dette ene: at frygte dit Navn.
Teach me your way, Jehovah. I will walk in your truth. Make my heart undivided to fear your name.
12 Jeg vil takke dig, Herre min Gud, af hele mit Hjerte, evindelig ære dit Navn;
I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole heart. I will glorify your name forevermore.
For your loving kindness is great toward me. You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
14 Frække har rejst sig imod mig, Gud, Voldsmænd i Flok vil tage mit Liv, og dig har de ikke for Øje.
God, the proud have risen up against me. A company of violent men have sought after my soul, and they do not hold regard for you before them.
15 Men, Herre, du er en barmhjertig og naadig Gud, langmodig og rig paa Naade og Sandhed.
But you, Jehovah, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.
16 Vend dig til mig og vær mig naadig, giv din Tjener din Styrke, frels din Tjenerindes Søn!
Turn to me, and have mercy on me. Give your strength to your servant. Save the son of your handmaid.
17 Und mig et Tegn paa din Godhed, at mine Fjender med Skamme maa se, at du, o HERRE, hjælper og trøster mig!
Show me a sign of your goodness, that those who hate me may see it, and be shamed, because you, Jehovah, have helped me, and comforted me.
