< Salme 92 >

1 (En Salme. En Sang for Sabbatsdagen.) Det er godt at takke HERREN, lovsynge dit navn, du højeste,
It is a good thing to give thanks to Jehovah, and to sing praises to thy name, O Most High,
2 ved Gry forkynde din Nåde, om Natten din Trofasthed
to show forth thy loving kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
3 til tistrenget Lyre, til Harpe, til Strengeleg på Citer!
with an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery, with a solemn sound upon the harp.
4 Thi ved dit Værk har du glædet mig, HERRE, jeg jubler over dine Hænders Gerning.
For thou, Jehovah, have made me glad through thy work. I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
5 Hvor store er dine Gerninger, HERRE, dine Tanker såre dybe!
How great are thy works, O Jehovah! Thy thoughts are very deep.
6 Tåben fatter det ikke, Dåren skønner ej sligt.
A brutish man knows not, nor does a fool understand this.
7 Spirer de gudløse end som Græsset, blomstrer end alle Udådsmænd, er det kun for at lægges øde for stedse,
When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is that they shall be destroyed forever,
8 men du er ophøjet for evigt, HERRE.
but thou, O Jehovah, are on high for evermore.
9 Thi se, dine Fjender, HERRE, se, dine Fjender går under, alle Udådsmænd spredes!
For, lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish. All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10 Du har løftet mit Horn som Vildoksens, kvæget mig med den friskeste Olie;
But thou have exalted my horn like the wild ox's. I am anointed with fresh oil,
11 det fryder mit Øje at se mine Fjender, mit Øre at høre mine Avindsmænd.
and my eye has seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the evildoers who rise up against me.
12 De retfærdige grønnes som Palmen, vokser som Libanons Ceder;
A righteous man shall flourish like the palm tree. He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 plantet i HERRENs Hus grønnes de i vor Guds Forgårde;
Men who are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 selv grånende bærer de Frugt, er friske og fulde af Saft
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age. They shall be full of sap and green
15 for at vidne, at HERREN er retvis, min Klippe, hos hvem ingen Uret findes.
to show that Jehovah is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
