Psalms 25
1 A Psalm of David. To you, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.
Af David. HERRE, jeg løfter min Sjæl til dig,
2 O my God, I have trusted in you: let me not be confounded, neither let mine enemies laugh me to scorn.
min Gud, jeg stoler paa dig, lad mig ikke beskæmmes, lad ej mine Fjender fryde sig over mig.
3 For none of them that wait on you shall in any wise be ashamed: let them be ashamed that transgress without cause.
Nej, ingen som bier paa dig, skal beskæmmes; beskæmmes skal de, som er troløse uden Grund.
4 Show me your ways, O Lord; and teach me your paths.
Lad mig kende dine Veje, HERRE, lær mig dine Stier.
5 Lead me in your truth, and teach me: for you are God my Saviour: and I have waited on you all the day.
Led mig paa din Sandheds Vej og lær mig, thi du er min Frelses Gud; jeg bier bestandig paa dig.
6 Remember your compassions, O Lord, and your mercies, for they are from everlasting.
HERRE, kom din Barmhjertighed i Hu og din Naade, den er jo fra Evighed af.
7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor [my sins] of ignorance: remember me according to your mercy, for your goodness' sake, O Lord.
Mine Ungdomssynder og Overtrædelser komme du ikke i Hu, men efter din Miskundhed kom mig i Hu, for din Godheds Skyld, o HERRE!
8 Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he instruct sinners in [the] way.
God og oprigtig er HERREN, derfor viser han Syndere Vejen.
9 The meek will he guide in judgement: the meek will he teach his ways.
Han vejleder ydmyge i det, som er ret, og lærer de ydmyge sin Vej.
10 All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth to them that seek his covenant and his testimonies.
Alle HERRENS Stier er Miskundhed og Trofasthed for dem, der holder hans Pagt og hans Vidnesbyrd.
11 For your name's sake, O Lord, do you also be merciful to my sin; for it is great.
For dit Navns Skyld, HERRE, tilgive du min Brøde, thi den er stor.
12 Who is the man that fears the Lord? he shall instruct him in the way which he has chosen.
Om nogen frygter HERREN, ham viser han den Vej, han skal vælge;
13 His soul shall dwell in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
selv skal han leve i Lykke og hans Sæd faa Landet i Eje.
14 The Lord is the strength of them that fear him; and his covenant is to manifest [truth] to them.
Fortroligt Samfund har HERREN med dem, der frygter ham, og han kundgør dem sin Pagt.
15 Mine eyes are continually to the Lord; for he shall draw my feet out of the snare.
Mit Øje er stadig vendt imod HERREN, thi han frier mine Fødder af Snaren.
16 Look upon me, and have mercy upon me; for I am an only child and poor.
Vend dig til mig og vær mig naadig, thi jeg er ene og arm.
17 The afflictions of my heart have been multiplied; deliver me from my distresses.
Let mit Hjertes Trængsler og før mig ud af min Nød.
18 Look upon mine affliction and my trouble; and forgive all my sins.
Se hen til min Nød og min Kvide og tilgiv alle mine Synder.
19 Look upon mine enemies; for they have been multiplied; and they have hated me with unjust hatred.
Se hen til mine Fjender, thi de er mange og hader mig med Had uden Grund.
20 Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I have hoped in you.
Vogt min Sjæl og frels mig, jeg lider paa dig, lad mig ikke beskæmmes.
21 The harmless and upright joined themselves to me: for I waited for you, O Lord.
Lad Uskyld og Retsind vogte mig, thi jeg bier paa dig, HERRE.
22 Deliver Israel, O God, out of all his afflictions.
Forløs, o Gud, Israel af alle dets Trængsler!
