Psalms 85
1 Jehovah, thou have been favorable to thy land. Thou have brought back the captivity of Jacob.
Til Sangmesteren; af Koras Børn, en Psalme.
2 Thou have forgiven the iniquity of thy people. Thou have covered all their sin. (Selah)
Herre! du har haft Velbehag til dit Land, du har ført Jakobs fangne Folk tilbage.
3 Thou have taken away all thy wrath. Thou have turned from the fierceness of thine anger.
Du har borttaget dit Folks Misgerning, du har skjult al deres Synd. (Sela)
4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine indignation toward us to cease.
Du har draget al din Harme tilbage, du har bortvendt din grumme Vrede.
5 Will thou be angry with us forever? Will thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
Hjælp os op igen, vor Frelses Gud! og tilintetgør din Fortørnelse imod os.
6 Will thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee?
Vil du evindelig være vred paa os? vil du udstrække din Vrede fra Slægt til Slægt?
7 Show us thy loving kindness, O Jehovah, and grant us thy salvation.
Vil du ikke gøre os levende igen, at dit Folk maa glæde sig i dig?
8 I will hear what God, Jehovah, will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, and to his sanctified. But let them not turn again to folly.
Herre! lad os se din Miskundhed og giv os din Frelse.
9 Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.
Jeg vil høre, hvad Gud Herren tater; thi han skal tale Fred til sit Folk og til sine hellige, kun at de ikke vende tilbage til Daarlighed.
10 Mercy and truth are met together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
Ja, hans Frelse er nær hos dem, som ham frygte, at Herlighed maa bo i vort Land.
11 Truth springs out of the earth, and righteousness has looked down from heaven.
Miskundhed og Sandhed møde hinanden; Retfærdighed og Fred kysse hinanden.
12 Yea, Jehovah will give that which is good, and our land shall yield its increase.
Sandhed vokser op af Jorden, og Retfærdighed ser ned af Himmelen.
13 Righteousness shall go before him, and shall make his footsteps a path.
Dertil skal Herren give det gode, og vort Land give sin Grøde. Retfærdighed gaa frem for hans Ansigt og sætte sine Trin paa hans Vej!
