Psalms 31
1 In you, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in your righteousness.
Til Sangmesteren; en Psalme af David. Herre! jeg tror paa dig, lad mig ikke beskæmmes evindelig; udfri mig ved din Retfærdighed.
2 Bow down your ear to me; deliver me speedily: be you my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.
Bøj dit Øre til mig, red mig hastelig; vær mig en fast Klippe, en sikker Borg til at frelse mig.
3 For you are my rock and my fortress; therefore for your name's sake lead me, and guide me.
Thi du er min Klippe og min Befæstning, og for dit Navns Skyld vil du lede mig og føre mig.
4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privately for me: for you are my strength.
Du vil udføre mig af Garnet, som de have skjult for mig; thi du er min Styrke.
5 Into your hand I commit my spirit: you have redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.
I din Haand befaler jeg min Aand; du forløste mig, Herre, du sande Gud!
6 I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.
Jeg hader dem, som tage Vare paa Løgnens Gøglebilleder; men paa Herren forlader jeg mig.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in your mercy: for you have considered my trouble; you have known my soul in adversities;
Jeg vil fryde mig og være glad ved din Miskundhed; thi du har set min Elendighed, du har kendt min Sjæleangest.
8 And have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: you have set my feet in a large room.
Du overantvordede mig ikke i Fjendens Haand; du lod mine Fødder staa paa et vidt Rum.
9 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
Herre! vær mig naadig, thi jeg er angest; hentæret af Sorg er mit Øje, min Sjæl og min Krop.
10 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength fails because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
Thi mit Liv er svundet hen i Bedrøvelse og mine Aar i Suk; min Kraft er brudt for min Misgernings Skyld, og mine Ben ere hentørrede.
11 I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.
Ved alle mine Fjender er jeg bleven til Spot, og det i rigt Maal for mine Naboer og til Forskrækkelse for mine Kyndinge; de, som saa mig udenfor, flyede fra mig.
12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
Jeg blev glemt, ude af Sinde som en død, jeg var som et Kar, der gaar tabt.
13 For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.
Thi jeg hørte manges Bagtalelse, der var Rædsel trindt omkring; idet de raadsloge sammen over mig, tænkte de at tage Livet af mig.
14 But I trusted in you, O LORD: I said, You are my God.
Men jeg forlader mig paa dig, Herre! jeg sagde: Du er min Gud.
15 My times are in your hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
Mine Tider ere i din Haand; red mig fra mine Fjenders Haand og fra dem, som forfølge mig.
16 Make your face to shine upon your servant: save me for your mercies' sake.
Lad dit Ansigt lyse over din Tjener; frels mig ved din Miskundhed.
17 Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon you: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave. (Sheol h7585)
Herre! lad mig ikke beskæmmes, thi jeg har kaldt paa dig; lad de ugudelige beskæmmes, lad dem tie i Dødsriget. (Sheol h7585)
18 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
Lad de falske Læber blive stumme, som tale frækt i Hovmod og Foragt imod den retfærdige.
19 Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for them that fear you; which you have wrought for them that trust in you before the sons of men!
Hvor stor er din Godhed, som du har gemt for dem, som dig frygte, hvilken du har udvist imod dem, som tro paa dig, for Menneskens Børn.
20 You shall hide them in the secret of your presence from the pride of man: you shall keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
Du vil skjule dem i dit Ansigts Skjul for Menneskers Sammensværgelser; du vil gemme dem i en Hytte for Tungers Kiv.
21 Blessed be the LORD: for he has showed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.
Lovet være Herren! thi han har underligt bevist sin Miskundhed imod mig i en fast Stad.
22 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before your eyes: nevertheless you heard the voice of my supplications when I cried unto you.
Og jeg sagde, der jeg var forfærdet: Jeg er udryddet fra dine Øjne; men du hørte mine ydmyge Begæringers Røst, da jeg raabte til dig.
23 O love the LORD, all you his saints: for the LORD perserves the faithful, and plentifully rewards the proud doer.
Elsker Herren, alle hans hellige! Herren bevarer de trofaste og betaler i Overmaal ham, som øver Hovmod.
24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all you that hope in the LORD.
Værer frimodige, og han skal styrke eders Hjerte, alle I, som haabe paa Herren!
