Psalms 36
1 For the music director. A psalm of David, servant of the Lord. Evil speaks to the wicked, deep down in their minds, for in their eyes they have no need to respect God.
Til Sangmesteren; af David, Herrens Tjener.
2 In their own eyes they're so wonderful that they can't even see their sin and do something about it.
Den ugudeliges Overtrædelser sige mig inden i mit Hjerte: Der er ikke Guds Frygt for hans Øjne.
3 Whatever they say is deceptive and deceitful. They no longer do anything wisely or for good.
Thi han smigrer for sig selv i sine Øjne, med Hensyn til, at hans Misgerning skulde blive fundet og hadet.
4 Even when they're lying in bed they think up evil schemes. They commit themselves to a way of life that is no good. They choose evil, and don't reject it.
Hans Munds Ord ere Uret og Svig; han har ladet af at handle viselig, at gøre godt.
5 Lord, your faithful love reaches to the heavens, your trustworthiness to the clouds.
Han optænker Uret paa sit Leje; han stiller sig paa en Vej, der ikke er god, det onde forkaster han ikke.
6 Your goodness is like the highest mountains, your fairness is like the deepest oceans. Lord, you save both the people and the animals.
Herre! din Miskundhed er i Himlene; din Sandhed naar til Skyerne.
7 God, how priceless is your trustworthy love! Everyone can find protection under the shelter of your wings.
Din Retfærdighed er som Gudsbjerge, dine Domme som det store Dyb; Herre! du frelser Mennesker og Dyr.
8 They gain strength from the wonderful food you provide in your house; you give them drink from your refreshing river.
Gud! hvor dyrebar er din Miskundhed; og Menneskens Børn skulle skjule sig under dine Vingers Skygge.
9 You are the source of life; you are the light by which we see.
De skulle mættes af dit Hus's Fedme, og du skal give dem at drikke af din Lifligheds Bæk.
10 Extend your trustworthy love to those who know you, and your goodness to those who truly live right.
Thi hos dig er Livets Kilde; i dit Lys skulle vi se Lys.
11 Don't let the arrogant trample me down; don't let the wicked drive me out.
Lad din Miskundhed vare ved imod dem, som dig kende, og din Retfærdighed imod de oprigtige af Hjertet.
12 Now look! See how those who do evil have fallen—thrown down, unable to get up.
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.
