Psalms 132
1 A Song of Degrees. Lord, remember David, and all his meekness:
Sang til Festrejserne. HERRE, kom David i Hu for al hans Møje,
2 how he sware to the Lord, [and] vowed to the God of Jacob, [saying],
hvorledes han tilsvor HERREN, gav Jakobs Vældige et Løfte:
3 I will not go into the tabernacle of my house; I will not go up to the couch of my bed;
»Jeg træder ej ind i mit Huses Telt, jeg stiger ej op paa mit Leje,
4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor slumber to mine eyelids, nor rest to my temples,
under ikke mine Øjne Søvn, ikke mine Øjenlaag Hvile,
5 until I find a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
før jeg har fundet HERREN et Sted, Jakobs Vældige en Bolig!«
6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephratha; we found it in the fields of the wood.
»Se, i Efrata hørte vi om den, fandt den paa Ja'ars Mark;
7 Let us enter into his tabernacles: let us worship at the place where his feet stood.
lad os gaa hen til hans Bolig, tilbede ved hans Fødders Skammel!«
8 Arise, O Lord, into your rest; you, and the ark of your holiness.
»HERRE, bryd op til dit Hvilested, du og din Vældes Ark!
9 Your priests shall clothe themselves with righteousness; and your saints shall exult.
Dine Præster være klædte i Retfærd, dine fromme synge med Fryd!
10 For the sake of your servant David turn not away the face of your anointed.
For din Tjener Davids Skyld afvise du ikke din Salvede!«
11 The Lord sware [in] truth to David, and he will not annul it, [saying], Of the fruit of your body will I set [a king] upon your throne.
HERREN tilsvor David et troværdigt, usvigeligt Løfte: »Af din Livsens Frugt vil jeg sætte Konger paa din Trone.
12 If your children will deep my covenant, and these my testimonies which I shall teach them, their children also shall sit upon your throne for ever.
Saafremt dine Sønner holder min Pagt og mit Vidnesbyrd, som jeg lærer dem, skal ogsaa deres Sønner sidde evindelig paa din Trone!
13 For the Lord has elected Sion, he has chosen her for a habitation for himself, [saying],
Thi HERREN har udvalgt Zion, ønsket sig det til Bolig:
14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have chosen it.
Her er for evigt mit Hvilested, her vil jeg bo, thi det har jeg ønsket.
15 I will surely bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
Dets Føde velsigner jeg, dets fattige mætter jeg med Brød,
16 I will clothe her priests with salvation; and her saints shall greatly exult.
dets Præster klæder jeg i Frelse, dets fromme skal synge med Fryd.
17 There will I cause to spring up a horn to David: I have prepared a lamp for mine anointed.
Der lader jeg Horn vokse frem for David, sikrer min Salvede Lampe.
18 His enemies will I clothe with a shame; but upon himself shall my holiness flourish.
Jeg klæder hans Fjender i Skam, men paa ham skal Kronen straale!«
