Psalms 85
1 For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core. O Lord, you has taken pleasure in your land: you have turned back the captivity of Jacob.
Til Sangmesteren; af Koras Børn, en Psalme.
2 You have forgiven your people their transgressions; you has covered all their sins. (Pause)
Herre! du har haft Velbehag til dit Land, du har ført Jakobs fangne Folk tilbage.
3 You has caused all your wrath to cease: you have turned from your fierce anger.
Du har borttaget dit Folks Misgerning, du har skjult al deres Synd. (Sela)
4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and turn your anger away from us.
Du har draget al din Harme tilbage, du har bortvendt din grumme Vrede.
5 Wouldest you be angry with us for ever? or will you continue your wrath from generation to generation?
Hjælp os op igen, vor Frelses Gud! og tilintetgør din Fortørnelse imod os.
6 O God, you will turn and quicken us; and your people shall rejoice in you.
Vil du evindelig være vred paa os? vil du udstrække din Vrede fra Slægt til Slægt?
7 Show us your mercy, 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 hear what the Lord God will say concerning me: for he shall speak peace to his people, and to his saints, and to those that turn their heart towards him.
Herre! lad os se din Miskundhed og giv os din Frelse.
9 Moreover his salvation is near them that fear him; that 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 Mercy and truth are met together: righteousness and peace have kissed [each other].
Ja, hans Frelse er nær hos dem, som ham frygte, at Herlighed maa bo i vort Land.
11 Truth has sprung out of the earth; and righteousness has looked down from heaven.
Miskundhed og Sandhed møde hinanden; Retfærdighed og Fred kysse hinanden.
12 For the Lord will give goodness; and our land shall yield her fruit.
Sandhed vokser op af Jorden, og Retfærdighed ser ned af Himmelen.
13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set his steps in the way.
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!
