< Salme 92 >

1 (En Salme. En Sang for Sabbatsdagen.) Det er godt at takke HERREN, lovsynge dit navn, du højeste,
A Psalm of a Song for the Sabbath-day. It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to thy name, O thou Most High;
2 ved Gry forkynde din Nåde, om Natten din Trofasthed
to proclaim thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth by night,
3 til tistrenget Lyre, til Harpe, til Strengeleg på Citer!
on a psaltery of ten strings, with a song on the harp.
4 Thi ved dit Værk har du glædet mig, HERRE, jeg jubler over dine Hænders Gerning.
For thou, O Lord, hast made me glad with thy work: and in the operations of thy hands will I exult.
5 Hvor store er dine Gerninger, HERRE, dine Tanker såre dybe!
How have thy works been magnified, O Lord! thy thoughts are very deep.
6 Tåben fatter det ikke, Dåren skønner ej sligt.
A foolish man will not know, and a senseless man will not understand this.
7 Spirer de gudløse end som Græsset, blomstrer end alle Udådsmænd, er det kun for at lægges øde for stedse,
When the sinners spring up as the grass, and all the workers of iniquity have watched; [it is] that they may be utterly destroyed for ever.
8 men du er ophøjet for evigt, HERRE.
But thou, O Lord, art most high for ever.
9 Thi se, dine Fjender, HERRE, se, dine Fjender går under, alle Udådsmænd spredes!
For, behold, thine enemies shall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10 Du har løftet mit Horn som Vildoksens, kvæget mig med den friskeste Olie;
But my horn shall be exalted [as the horn] of a unicorn; and mine old age with rich mercy.
11 det fryder mit Øje at se mine Fjender, mit Øre at høre mine Avindsmænd.
And mine eye has seen mine enemies, and mine ear shall hear the wicked that rise up against me.
12 De retfærdige grønnes som Palmen, vokser som Libanons Ceder;
The righteous shall flourish as a palm-tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus.
13 plantet i HERRENs Hus grønnes de i vor Guds Forgårde;
They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 selv grånende bærer de Frugt, er friske og fulde af Saft
Then shall they be increased in a fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare
15 for at vidne, at HERREN er retvis, min Klippe, hos hvem ingen Uret findes.
that the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
