Psalms 92

1 A Psalm, a Song. For the sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto 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 lovingkindness in the morning, and Thy faithfulness in the night seasons,

ved Gry forkynde din Nåde, om Natten din Trofasthed

3 With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery; with a solemn sound upon the harp.

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

4 For Thou, LORD, hast made me glad through Thy work; I will exult in the works of Thy hands.

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

5 How great are Thy works, O LORD! Thy thoughts are very deep.

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

6 A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand this.

Tåben fatter det ikke, Dåren skønner ej sligt.

7 When the wicked spring up as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they may be destroyed for ever.

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 on high for evermore.

men du er ophøjet for evigt, HERRE.

9 For, lo, Thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, Thine enemies shall perish: all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

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

10 But my horn hast Thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox; I am anointed with rich oil.

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

11 Mine eye also hath gazed on them that lie in wait for me, mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

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

12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

De retfærdige grønnes som Palmen, vokser som Libanons Ceder;

13 Planted in the house of the LORD, they shall flourish in the courts of our God.

plantet i HERRENs Hus grønnes de i vor Guds Forgårde;

14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be full of sap and richness;

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

15 To declare that the LORD is upright, my Rock, in whom there is no unrighteousness.

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