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 Sønner. En Salme.
2 You forgave the iniquity of Your people; You covered all their sin.
Du var naadig, HERRE, imod dit Land, du vendte Jakobs Skæbne,
3 You withheld all Your fury; You turned from Your burning anger.
tog Skylden bort fra dit Folk og skjulte al deres Synd. (Sela)
4 Restore us, O God of our salvation, and put away Your displeasure toward us.
Du lod al din Vrede fare, tvang din glødende Harme.
5 Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out Your anger to all generations?
Vend tilbage, vor Frelses Gud, hør op med din Uvilje mod os!
6 Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?
Vil du vredes paa os for evigt, holde fast ved din Harme fra Slægt til Slægt?
7 Show us Your loving devotion, O LORD, and grant us Your salvation.
Vil du ikke skænke os Liv Paa ny, saa dit Folk kan 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.
Lad os skue din Miskundhed, HERRE, din Frelse give du os!
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 taler! Visselig taler han Fred til sit Folk og til sine fromme og til dem, der vender deres Hjerte til ham;
10 Loving devotion and faithfulness have joined together; righteousness and peace have kissed.
ja, nær er hans Frelse for dem, som frygter ham, snart skal Herlighed bo i vort Land;
11 Faithfulness sprouts from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.
Miskundhed og Sandhed mødes, Retfærd og Fred skal kysse hinanden;
12 The LORD will indeed provide what is good, and our land will yield its increase.
af Jorden spirer Sandhed frem, fra Himlen skuer Retfærd ned.
13 Righteousness will go before Him to prepare the way for His steps.
Derhos giver HERREN Lykke, sin Afgrøde giver vort Land; Retfærd vandrer foran ham og følger ogsaa hans Fjed.
