< Salme 108 >

1 (En Sang. En Salme af David.) Mit Hjerte er trøstigt, Gud, mit hjerte er trøstigt; jeg vil synge og lovprise dig, vågn op, min Ære!
A Canticle Psalm, of David himself. My heart is prepared, O God, my heart is prepared. I will sing songs, and I will sing psalms in my glory.
2 Harpe og Citer, vågn op, jeg vil vække Morgenrøden.
Rise up, my glory. Rise up, Psalter and harp. I will arise in early morning.
3 Jeg vil takke dig, HERRE, blandt Folkeslag, lovprise dig blandt Folkefærd;
I will confess to you, O Lord, among the peoples. And I will sing psalms to you among the nations.
4 thi din Miskundhed når til Himlen, din Sandhed til Skyerne.
For your mercy is great, beyond the heavens, and your truth, even to the clouds.
5 Løft dig, o Gud, over Himlen, din Herlighed være over al Jorden!
Be exalted, O God, beyond the heavens, and your glory, beyond all the earth,
6 Til Frelse for dine elskede hjælp med din højre, bønhør os!
so that your beloved may be freed. Save with your right hand, and heed me.
7 Gud talede i sin Helligdom: "Jeg vil udskifte Sikem med Jubel, udmåle Sukkots Dal;
God has spoken in his holiness. I will exult, and I will divide Shechem, and I will divide by measure the steep valley of tabernacles.
8 mit er Gilead, mit er Manasse, Efraim er mit Hoveds Værn, Juda min Herskerstav,
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the supporter of my head. Judah is my king.
9 Moab min Vaskeskål, på Edom kaster jeg min Sko, over Filisterland jubler jeg."
Moab is the cooking pot of my hope. I will extend my shoe in Idumea; the foreigners have become my friends.
10 Hvo bringer mig til den befæstede By, hvo leder mig hen til Edom?
Who will lead me into the fortified city? Who will lead me, even into Idumea?
11 Har du ikke, Gud, stødt os fra dig? Du ledsager ej vore Hære.
Will not you, O God, who had rejected us? And will not you, O God, go out with our armies?
12 Giv os dog Hjælp mod Fjenden! Blændværk er Menneskers Støtte.
Grant us help from tribulation, for vain is the help of man.
13 Med Gud skal vi øve vældige Ting, vore Fjender træder han ned!
In God, we will act virtuously, and he will bring our enemies to nothing.
