Psalms 92

1 A Psalme or song for the Sabbath day. It is a good thing to praise the Lord, and to sing vnto thy Name, O most High,

(En Salme. En Sang for Sabbatsdagen.) Det er godt at takke HERREN, lovsynge dit navn, du højeste,

2 To declare thy louing kindenesse in the morning, and thy trueth in the night,

ved Gry forkynde din Nåde, om Natten din Trofasthed

3 Vpon an instrument of tenne strings, and vpon the viole with the song vpon the harpe.

til tistrenget Lyre, til Harpe, til Strengeleg på Citer!

4 For thou, Lord, hast made mee glad by thy workes, and I wil reioyce in the workes of thine handes.

Thi ved dit Værk har du glædet mig, HERRE, jeg jubler over dine Hænders Gerning.

5 O Lord, how glorious are thy workes! and thy thoughtes are very deepe.

Hvor store er dine Gerninger, HERRE, dine Tanker såre dybe!

6 An vnwise man knoweth it not, and a foole doeth not vnderstand this,

Tåben fatter det ikke, Dåren skønner ej sligt.

7 (When the wicked growe as the grasse, and all the workers of wickednesse doe flourish) that they shall be destroyed for euer.

Spirer de gudløse end som Græsset, blomstrer end alle Udådsmænd, er det kun for at lægges øde for stedse,

8 But thou, O Lord, art most High for euermore.

men du er ophøjet for evigt, HERRE.

9 For loe, thine enemies, O Lord: for loe, thine enemies shall perish: all the workers of iniquitie shall be destroyed.

Thi se, dine Fjender, HERRE, se, dine Fjender går under, alle Udådsmænd spredes!

10 But thou shalt exalt mine horne, like the vnicornes, and I shalbe anoynted with fresh oyle.

Du har løftet mit Horn som Vildoksens, kvæget mig med den friskeste Olie;

11 Mine eye also shall see my desire against mine enemies: and mine eares shall heare my wish against the wicked, that rise vp against me.

det fryder mit Øje at se mine Fjender, mit Øre at høre mine Avindsmænd.

12 The righteous shall flourish like a palme tree, and shall grow like a Cedar in Lebanon.

De retfærdige grønnes som Palmen, vokser som Libanons Ceder;

13 Such as bee planted in the house of the Lord, shall flourish in the courtes of our God.

plantet i HERRENs Hus grønnes de i vor Guds Forgårde;

14 They shall still bring foorth fruite in their age: they shall be fat and flourishing,

selv grånende bærer de Frugt, er friske og fulde af Saft

15 To declare that the Lord my rocke is righteous, and that none iniquitie is in him.

for at vidne, at HERREN er retvis, min Klippe, hos hvem ingen Uret findes.
