< Psalms 85 >

1 Lord, you have been favorable to your land: you have brought back the captivity of Jacob.
(Til Sangmesteren. Af Koras Sønner. En Salme.) Du var nådig, HERRE, imod dit land du vendte Jakobs Skæbne,
2 You have forgiven the iniquity of your people, you have covered all their sin. (Selah)
tog Skylden bort fra dit Folk og skjulte al deres Synd. (Sela)
3 You have taken away all your wrath: you have turned yourself from the fierceness of your anger.
Du lod al din Vrede fare, tvang din glødende Harme.
4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause your anger toward us to cease.
Vend tilbage, vor Frelses Gud, hør op med din Uvilje mod os!
5 Will you be angry with us for ever? will you draw out your anger to all generations?
Vil du vredes på os for evigt, holde fast ved din Harme fra Slægt til Slægt?
6 Will you not revive us again: that your people may rejoice in you?
Vil du ikke skænke os Liv På ny, så dit Folk kan glæde sig i dig!
7 Show us your mercy, O LORD, and grant us your salvation.
Lad os skue din Miskundhed, HERRE, din Frelse give du os!
8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace to his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
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;
9 Surely his salvation is near them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
ja, nær er hans Frelse for dem, som frygter ham, snart skal Herlighed bo i vort Land;
10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
Miskundhed og Sandhed mødes, Retfærd og Fred skal kysse hinanden;
11 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
af Jorden spirer Sandhed frem, fra Himlen skuer Retfærd ned.
12 Yes, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
Derhos giver HERREN Lykke, sin Afgrøde giver vort Land;
13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
Retfærd vandrer foran ham og følger også hans Fjed.
