Salme 7
1 (En Sjiggajon af David, som han sang for HERREN i anledning af benjaminitten Kusj' ord.) HERRE min Gud, jeg lider på dig, frels mig og fri mig fra hver min Forfølger,
Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning Cush a Benjamite. O LORD my God, in Thee have I taken refuge; save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me;
2 at han ej som en Løve skal rive mig sønder, bortrive, uden at nogen befrier.
Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3 HERRE min Gud, har jeg handlet så, er der Uret i mine Hænder,
O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
4 har jeg voldet dem ondt, der holdt Fred med mig, uden Årsag gjort mine Fjender Men,
If I have requited him that did evil unto me, or spoiled mine adversary unto emptiness;
5 så forfølge og indhente Fjenden min Sjæl, han træde mit Liv til Jorden og kaste min Ære i Støvet. (Sela)
Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it, and tread my life down to the earth; yea, let him lay my glory in the dust. (Selah)
6 HERRE, stå op i din Vrede, rejs dig imod mine Fjenders Fnysen, vågn op, min Gud, du sætte Retten!
Arise, O LORD, in Thine anger, lift up Thyself in indignation against mine adversaries; yea, awake for me at the judgment which Thou hast commanded.
7 Lad Folkeflokken samles om dig, tag Sæde over den hist i det høje!
And let the congregation of the peoples compass Thee about, and over them return Thou on high.
8 HERREN dømmer Folkeslag. Mig dømme du, HERRE, efter min Retfærd og Uskyld!
O LORD, who ministerest judgment to the peoples, judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
9 På gudløses Ondskab gøre du Ende, støt den retfærdige, du, som prøver Hjerter og Nyrer, retfærdige Gud.
Oh that a full measure of evil might come upon the wicked, and that Thou wouldest establish the righteous; for the righteous God trieth the heart and reins.
10 Mit Skjold er hos Gud, han frelser de oprigtige af Hjertet;
My shield is with God, who saveth the upright in heart.
11 retfærdig som Dommer er Gud, en Gud, der hver Dag vredes.
God is a righteous judge, yea, a God that hath indignation every day:
12 Visselig hvæsser han atter sit Sværd, han spænder sin Bue og sigter;
If a man turn not, He will whet His sword, He hath bent His bow, and made it ready;
13 men mod sig selv har han rettet de dræbende Våben, gjort sine Pile til brændende Pile.
He hath also prepared for him the weapons of death, yea, His arrows which He made sharp.
14 Se, hanundfanger Tomhed, svanger med Ulykke føder han Blændværk;
Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; yea, he conceiveth mischief, and bringeth forth falsehood.
15 han grov en Grube, han huled den ud, men faldt i den Grav, han gjorde.
He hath digged a pit, and hollowed it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
16 Ulykken falder ned på hans Hoved, hans Uret rammer hans egen Isse.
His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own pate.
17 Jeg vil takke HERREN for hans Retfærd, lovsynge HERREN den Højestes Navn.
I will give thanks unto the LORD according to His righteousness; and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
