Psalms 85
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. Lord, thou hast bene fauourable vnto thy land: thou hast brought againe the captiuitie of Iaakob.
Til Sangmesteren. Af Koras Sønner. En Salme.
2 Thou hast forgiuen the iniquitie of thy people, and couered all their sinnes. (Selah)
Du var naadig, HERRE, imod dit Land, du vendte Jakobs Skæbne,
3 Thou hast withdrawen all thine anger, and hast turned backe from the fiercenes of thy wrath.
tog Skylden bort fra dit Folk og skjulte al deres Synd. (Sela)
4 Turne vs, O God of our saluation, and release thine anger toward vs.
Du lod al din Vrede fare, tvang din glødende Harme.
5 Wilt thou be angry with vs for euer? and wilt thou prolong thy wrath from one generation to another?
Vend tilbage, vor Frelses Gud, hør op med din Uvilje mod os!
6 Wilt thou not turne againe and quicken vs, that thy people may reioyce in thee?
Vil du vredes paa os for evigt, holde fast ved din Harme fra Slægt til Slægt?
7 Shew vs thy mercie, O Lord, and graunt vs thy saluation.
Vil du ikke skænke os Liv Paa ny, saa dit Folk kan glæde sig i dig!
8 I will hearken what the Lord God will say: for he will speake peace vnto his people, and to his Saintes, that they turne not againe to follie.
Lad os skue din Miskundhed, HERRE, din Frelse give du os!
9 Surely his saluation is neere to them that feare 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 Mercie and trueth shall meete: righteousnes and peace shall kisse one another.
ja, nær er hans Frelse for dem, som frygter ham, snart skal Herlighed bo i vort Land;
11 Trueth shall bud out of the earth, and righteousnes shall looke downe from heauen.
Miskundhed og Sandhed mødes, Retfærd og Fred skal kysse hinanden;
12 Yea, the Lord shall giue good things, and our land shall giue her increase.
af Jorden spirer Sandhed frem, fra Himlen skuer Retfærd ned.
13 Righteousnesse shall go before him, and shall set her steps in the way.
Derhos giver HERREN Lykke, sin Afgrøde giver vort Land; Retfærd vandrer foran ham og følger ogsaa hans Fjed.
