Psalms 85
1 Lord, you have been favourable unto your land: you have brought back the captivity of Jacob.
Til Sangmesteren. Af Koras Sønner. En Salme.
2 You have forgiven the iniquity of your people, you have covered all their sin. (Selah)
Du var naadig, HERRE, imod dit Land, du vendte Jakobs Skæbne,
3 You have taken away all your wrath: you have turned yourself from the fierceness of your anger.
tog Skylden bort fra dit Folk og skjulte al deres Synd. (Sela)
4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause your anger toward us to cease.
Du lod al din Vrede fare, tvang din glødende Harme.
5 Will you be angry with us for ever? will you draw out your anger to all generations?
Vend tilbage, vor Frelses Gud, hør op med din Uvilje mod os!
6 Will you not revive us again: that your people may rejoice in you?
Vil du vredes paa os for evigt, holde fast ved din Harme fra Slægt til Slægt?
7 Show us your mercy, O LORD, and grant us your salvation.
Vil du ikke skænke os Liv Paa ny, saa dit Folk kan 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.
Lad os skue din Miskundhed, HERRE, din Frelse give du os!
9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
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;
10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
ja, nær er hans Frelse for dem, som frygter ham, snart skal Herlighed bo i vort Land;
11 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
Miskundhed og Sandhed mødes, Retfærd og Fred skal kysse hinanden;
12 Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
af Jorden spirer Sandhed frem, fra Himlen skuer Retfærd ned.
13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
Derhos giver HERREN Lykke, sin Afgrøde giver vort Land; Retfærd vandrer foran ham og følger ogsaa hans Fjed.
