Psalms 56
1 For the end, concerning the people that were removed from the sanctuary, by David for a memorial, when the Philistines caught him in Geth. Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; all the day long he warring has afflicted me.
Til Sangmesteren. Al-jonat-elem-rehokim. Af David. En Miktam, da Filisterne greb ham i Gat.
2 Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me.
Vær mig naadig, Gud, thi Mennesker vil mig til Livs, jeg trænges stadig af Stridsmænd;
3 They shall be afraid, but I will trust in thee.
mine Fjender vil mig stadig til Livs, thi mange strider bittert imod mig!
4 In God I will praise my words; all the day have I hoped in God; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me.
Naar jeg gribes af Frygt, vil jeg stole paa dig,
5 All the day long they have abominated my words; all their devices [are] against me for evil.
og med Guds Hjælp skal jeg prise hans Ord. Jeg stoler paa Gud, jeg frygter ikke, hvad kan Kød vel gøre mig?
6 They will dwell near and hide [themselves]; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul.
De oplægger stadig Raad imod mig, alle deres Tanker gaar ud paa ondt.
7 Thou wilt on no account save them; thou wilt bring down the people in wrath.
De flokker sig sammen, ligger paa Lur, jeg har dem lige i Hælene, de staar mig jo efter Livet.
8 O God, I have declared my life to thee; thou has set my tears before thee, even according to thy promise.
Gengæld du dem det onde, stød Folkene ned i Vrede, o Gud!
9 Mine enemies shall be turned back, in the day wherein I shall call upon thee; behold, I know that thou art my God.
Selv har du talt mine Suk, i din Lædersæk har du gemt mine Taarer; de staar jo i din Bog.
10 In God, will I praise [his] word; in the Lord will I praise [his] saying.
Da skal Fjenderne vige, den Dag jeg kalder; saa meget ved jeg, at Gud er med mig.
11 I have hoped in God; I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me.
Med Guds Hjælp skal jeg prise hans Ord, med HERRENS Hjælp skal jeg prise hans Ord.
12 The vows of thy praise, O God, which I will pay, are upon me.
Jeg stoler paa Gud, jeg frygter ikke, hvad kan et Menneske gøre mig?
13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, and my feet from sliding, that I should be well-pleasing before God in the land of the living.
Jeg har Løfter til dig at indfri, o Gud, med Takofre vil jeg betale dig. Thi fra Døden frier du min Sjæl, ja min Fod fra Fald, at jeg kan vandre for Guds Aasyn i Livets Lys.
