Psalms 85
1 Lord, you have been favourable unto your land: you have brought back the captivity of Jacob.
Til Sangmesteren; af Koras Børn, en Psalme.
2 You have forgiven the iniquity of your people, you have covered all their sin. (Selah)
Herre! du har haft Velbehag til dit Land, du har ført Jakobs fangne Folk tilbage.
3 You have taken away all your wrath: you have turned yourself from the fierceness of your anger.
Du har borttaget dit Folks Misgerning, du har skjult al deres Synd. (Sela)
4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause your anger toward us to cease.
Du har draget al din Harme tilbage, du har bortvendt din grumme Vrede.
5 Will you be angry with us for ever? will you draw out your anger to all generations?
Hjælp os op igen, vor Frelses Gud! og tilintetgør din Fortørnelse imod os.
6 Will you not revive us again: that your people may rejoice in you?
Vil du evindelig være vred paa os? vil du udstrække din Vrede fra Slægt til Slægt?
7 Show us your mercy, O LORD, and grant us your salvation.
Vil du ikke gøre os levende igen, at dit Folk maa glæde sig i dig?
8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not return to folly.
Herre! lad os se din Miskundhed og giv os din Frelse.
9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
Jeg vil høre, hvad Gud Herren tater; thi han skal tale Fred til sit Folk og til sine hellige, kun at de ikke vende tilbage til Daarlighed.
10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
Ja, hans Frelse er nær hos dem, som ham frygte, at Herlighed maa bo i vort Land.
11 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
Miskundhed og Sandhed møde hinanden; Retfærdighed og Fred kysse hinanden.
12 Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
Sandhed vokser op af Jorden, og Retfærdighed ser ned af Himmelen.
13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
Dertil skal Herren give det gode, og vort Land give sin Grøde. Retfærdighed gaa frem for hans Ansigt og sætte sine Trin paa hans Vej!
