Psalms 85
1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. You showed favor to Your land, O LORD; You restored Jacob from captivity.
Til Sangmesteren; af Koras Børn, en Psalme.
2 You forgave the iniquity of Your people; You covered all their sin.
Herre! du har haft Velbehag til dit Land, du har ført Jakobs fangne Folk tilbage.
3 You withheld all Your fury; You turned from Your burning anger.
Du har borttaget dit Folks Misgerning, du har skjult al deres Synd. (Sela)
4 Restore us, O God of our salvation, and put away Your displeasure toward us.
Du har draget al din Harme tilbage, du har bortvendt din grumme Vrede.
5 Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out Your anger to all generations?
Hjælp os op igen, vor Frelses Gud! og tilintetgør din Fortørnelse imod os.
6 Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?
Vil du evindelig være vred paa os? vil du udstrække din Vrede fra Slægt til Slægt?
7 Show us Your loving devotion, O LORD, and grant us Your salvation.
Vil du ikke gøre os levende igen, at dit Folk maa glæde sig i dig?
8 I will listen to what God the LORD will say; for He will surely speak peace to His people and His saints; He will not let them return to folly.
Herre! lad os se din Miskundhed og giv os din Frelse.
9 Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that His 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 Loving devotion and faithfulness have joined together; righteousness and peace have kissed.
Ja, hans Frelse er nær hos dem, som ham frygte, at Herlighed maa bo i vort Land.
11 Faithfulness sprouts from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.
Miskundhed og Sandhed møde hinanden; Retfærdighed og Fred kysse hinanden.
12 The LORD will indeed provide what is good, and our land will yield its increase.
Sandhed vokser op af Jorden, og Retfærdighed ser ned af Himmelen.
13 Righteousness will go before Him to prepare the way for His steps.
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!
