Psalms 36
1 To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of the servant of Jehovah; of David. The transgression of the wicked uttereth within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.
Til Sangmesteren; af David, Herrens Tjener.
2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, [even] when his iniquity is found to be hateful.
Den ugudeliges Overtrædelser sige mig inden i mit Hjerte: Der er ikke Guds Frygt for hans Øjne.
3 The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, to do good.
Thi han smigrer for sig selv i sine Øjne, med Hensyn til, at hans Misgerning skulde blive fundet og hadet.
4 He deviseth wickedness up on his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good: he abhorreth not evil.
Hans Munds Ord ere Uret og Svig; han har ladet af at handle viselig, at gøre godt.
5 Jehovah, thy loving-kindness is in the heavens, and thy faithfulness [reacheth] unto the clouds.
Han optænker Uret paa sit Leje; han stiller sig paa en Vej, der ikke er god, det onde forkaster han ikke.
6 Thy righteousness is like the high mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: thou, Jehovah, preservest man and beast.
Herre! din Miskundhed er i Himlene; din Sandhed naar til Skyerne.
7 How precious is thy loving-kindness, O God! So the sons of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.
Din Retfærdighed er som Gudsbjerge, dine Domme som det store Dyb; Herre! du frelser Mennesker og Dyr.
8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou wilt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
Gud! hvor dyrebar er din Miskundhed; og Menneskens Børn skulle skjule sig under dine Vingers Skygge.
9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
De skulle mættes af dit Hus's Fedme, og du skal give dem at drikke af din Lifligheds Bæk.
10 Continue thy loving-kindness unto them that know thee, and thy righteousness to the upright in heart;
Thi hos dig er Livets Kilde; i dit Lys skulle vi se Lys.
11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
Lad din Miskundhed vare ved imod dem, som dig kende, og din Retfærdighed imod de oprigtige af Hjertet.
12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and are not able to rise.
Lad den hovmodiges Fod ikke komme over mig og de ugudeliges Haand ikke bortstøde mig. Hist faldt de, som gjorde Uret; de bleve nedstødte og kunde ikke staa op.
