Salme 92

1 En Salme. En Sang for Sabbatsdagen.

A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath. It is a good thing to give praise to the Lord, and to make melody to your name, O Most High;

2 Det er godt at takke HERREN, lovsynge dit Navn, du Højeste,

To make clear your mercy in the morning, and your unchanging faith every night;

3 ved Gry forkynde din Naade, om Natten din Trofasthed

On a ten-corded instrument, and on an instrument of music with a quiet sound.

4 til tistrenget Lyre, til Harpe, til Strengeleg paa Citer!

For you, O Lord, have made me glad through your work; I will have joy in the works of your hands.

5 Thi ved dit Værk har du glædet mig, HERRE, jeg jubler over dine Hænders Gerning.

O Lord, how great are your works! and your thoughts are very deep.

6 Hvor store er dine Gerninger, HERRE, dine Tanker saare dybe!

A man without sense has no knowledge of this; and a foolish man may not take it in.

7 Taaben fatter det ikke, Daaren skønner ej sligt.

When the sinners come up like the grass, and all the workers of evil do well for themselves, it is so that their end may be eternal destruction.

8 Spirer de gudløse end som Græsset, blomstrer end alle Udaadsmænd, er det kun for at lægges øde for stedse,

But you, O Lord, are on high for ever.

9 men du er ophøjet for evigt, HERRE.

For see! your haters, O Lord, will be put to death; all the workers of evil will be put to flight;

10 Thi se, dine Fjender, HERRE, se, dine Fjender gaar under, alle Udaadsmænd spredes!

But my horn is lifted up like the horn of the ox: the best oil is flowing on my head.

11 Du har løftet mit Horn som Vildoksens, kvæget mig med den friskeste Olie;

My eyes have seen trouble come on my haters; my ears have news of the fate of the evil-doers who have come up against me.

12 det fryder mit Øje at se mine Fjender, mit Øre at høre mine Avindsmænd.

The good man will be like a tall tree in his strength; his growth will be as the wide-stretching trees of Lebanon.

13 De retfærdige grønnes som Palmen, vokser som Libanons Ceder;

Those who are planted in the house of the Lord will come up tall and strong in his gardens.

14 plantet i HERRENS Hus grønnes de i vor Guds Forgaarde;

They will give fruit even when they are old; they will be fertile and full of growth;

15 selv graanende bærer de Frugt, er friske og fulde af Saft for at vidne, at HERREN er retvis, min Klippe, hos hvem ingen Uret findes.

For a sign that the Lord is upright; he is my Rock, there is no deceit in him.
