Salme 36
1 (Til sangmesteren. Af HERRENs tjener David.) Synden taler til den Gudløse inde i hans Hjerte; Gudsfrygt har han ikke for Øje;
[Wicked people continually desire to] sin. They consider [IDM] that they do not need to revere God.
2 thi den smigrer ham frækt og siger, at ingen skal finde hans Brøde og hade ham.
Because they are very proud, they do not think that God will discover their sins and condemn them (OR, they do not think about their sins and hate themselves for it).
3 Hans Munds Ord er Uret og Svig, han har ophørt at handle klogt og godt;
[Everything] that they say is deceitful and full of lies; they no longer do what is good and are no longer wise.
4 på sit Leje udtænker han Uret, han træder en Vej, som ikke er god; det onde afskyr han ikke.
While they are lying on their beds, they plan to do things to harm [others]; they are determined to do things that are not good, and they never refuse [to do what is] evil.
5 HERRE, din Miskundhed rækker til Himlen, din Trofasthed når til Skyerne,
Yahweh, your faithful love for us reaches as high as the heavens, you faithfully [do what you have promised]; [it is as though your doing that] extends up to the clouds.
6 din Retfærd er som Guds Bjerge, dine Domme som det store Dyb; HERRE, du frelser Folk og Fæ,
Your righteous behavior is [as permanent as] the highest mountains [MET], your acting justly [will continue as long as] the deepest oceans [exist]. You take care of people and you take care of animals.
7 hvor dyrebar er dog din Miskundhed, Gud! Og Menneskebørnene skjuler sig i dine Vingers Skygge;
God, your faithful love for us is very precious. You protect us like birds protect their baby birds under their wings [MET].
8 de kvæges ved dit Huses Fedme, du læsker dem af din Lifligheds Strøm;
You provide for us plenty of food from the abundant supply [IDM] that you have; your great blessings for us [flow] like a river.
9 thi hos dig er Livets Kilde, i dit Lys skuer vi Lys!
You are the one who causes everything to live; your light is what enables us to see.
10 Lad din Miskundhed blive over dem, der kender dig, din Retfærd over de oprigtige af Hjertet.
Continue to faithfully love those who have experienced a relationship with you, and bless those who act righteously/justly.
11 Lad Hovmods Fod ej træde mig ned, gudløses Hånd ej jage mig bort.
Do not allow proud people [SYN] to attack me, or allow wicked people to chase me away.
12 Se, Udådsmændene falder, slås ned, så de ikke kan rejse sig.
Look where evil people have fallen on the ground, defeated; they were thrown down, and they will never rise again.
