Psalms 85
1 Unto the end, for the sons of Core, a psalm. Lord, thou hast blessed thy land: thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob.
Til Sangmesteren. Af Koras Sønner. En Salme.
2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people: thou hast covered all their sins.
Du var naadig, HERRE, imod dit Land, du vendte Jakobs Skæbne,
3 Thou hast mitigated all thy anger: thou best turned away from the wrath of thy indignation.
tog Skylden bort fra dit Folk og skjulte al deres Synd. (Sela)
4 Convert us, O God our saviour: and turn off thy anger from us.
Du lod al din Vrede fare, tvang din glødende Harme.
5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever: or wilt thou extend thy wrath from generation to generation?
Vend tilbage, vor Frelses Gud, hør op med din Uvilje mod os!
6 Thou wilt turn, O God, and bring us to life: and thy people shall rejoice in thee.
Vil du vredes paa os for evigt, holde fast ved din Harme fra Slægt til Slægt?
7 Shew us, O Lord, thy mercy; and grant us thy salvation.
Vil du ikke skænke os Liv Paa ny, saa dit Folk kan glæde sig i dig!
8 I will hear what the Lord God will speak in me: for he will speak peace unto his people: And unto his saints: and unto them that are converted to the heart.
Lad os skue din Miskundhed, HERRE, din Frelse give du os!
9 Surely his salvation is near to them that fear him: that glory may dwell in our land.
Jeg vil høre, hvad Gud HERREN taler! Visselig taler han Fred til sit Folk og til sine fromme og til dem, der vender deres Hjerte til ham;
10 Mercy and truth have met each other: justice and peace have kissed.
ja, nær er hans Frelse for dem, som frygter ham, snart skal Herlighed bo i vort Land;
11 Truth is sprung out of the earth: and justice hath looked down from heaven.
Miskundhed og Sandhed mødes, Retfærd og Fred skal kysse hinanden;
12 For the Lord will give goodness: and our earth shall yield her fruit.
af Jorden spirer Sandhed frem, fra Himlen skuer Retfærd ned.
13 Justice shall walk before him: and shall set his steps in the way.
Derhos giver HERREN Lykke, sin Afgrøde giver vort Land; Retfærd vandrer foran ham og følger ogsaa hans Fjed.
