Psalms 85
1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. Lord, you were good to your land: changing the fate of Jacob.
Til Sangmesteren; af Koras Børn, en Psalme.
2 The wrongdoing of your people had forgiveness; all their sin had been covered. (Selah)
Herre! du har haft Velbehag til dit Land, du har ført Jakobs fangne Folk tilbage.
3 You were no longer angry: you were turned from the heat of your wrath.
Du har borttaget dit Folks Misgerning, du har skjult al deres Synd. (Sela)
4 Come back to us, O God of our salvation, and be angry with us no longer.
Du har draget al din Harme tilbage, du har bortvendt din grumme Vrede.
5 Will you go on being angry with us for ever? will you keep your wrath against us through all the long generations?
Hjælp os op igen, vor Frelses Gud! og tilintetgør din Fortørnelse imod os.
6 Will you not give us life again, so that your people may be glad in you?
Vil du evindelig være vred paa os? vil du udstrække din Vrede fra Slægt til Slægt?
7 Let us see your mercy, O Lord, and give us your salvation.
Vil du ikke gøre os levende igen, at dit Folk maa glæde sig i dig?
8 I will give ear to the voice of the Lord; for he will say words of peace to his people and to his saints; but let them not go back to their foolish ways.
Herre! lad os se din Miskundhed og giv os din Frelse.
9 Truly, his salvation is near to his worshippers; so that glory may be 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 faith have come together; righteousness and peace have given one another a kiss.
Ja, hans Frelse er nær hos dem, som ham frygte, at Herlighed maa bo i vort Land.
11 Faith comes up from the earth like a plant; righteousness is looking down from heaven.
Miskundhed og Sandhed møde hinanden; Retfærdighed og Fred kysse hinanden.
12 The Lord will give what is good; and our land will give its increase.
Sandhed vokser op af Jorden, og Retfærdighed ser ned af Himmelen.
13 Righteousness will go before him, making a way for his footsteps.
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!
