< Psalms 85 >

1 “To the chief musician, by the sons of Korach, a psalm.” Thou hast been favorable, O Lord, unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
Til Sangmesteren. Af Koras Sønner. En Salme.
2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people: thou hast covered over all their sin. (Selah)
Du var naadig, HERRE, imod dit Land, du vendte Jakobs Skæbne,
3 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast relinquished the fierceness of thy anger.
tog Skylden bort fra dit Folk og skjulte al deres Synd. (Sela)
4 Return to us, O God of our salvation, and cause thy ill-will toward us to cease.
Du lod al din Vrede fare, tvang din glødende Harme.
5 Wilt thou be wroth with us for ever? wilt thou extend thy anger from generation to generation?
Vend tilbage, vor Frelses Gud, hør op med din Uvilje mod os!
6 Wilt thou not [now] revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee?
Vil du vredes paa os for evigt, holde fast ved din Harme fra Slægt til Slægt?
7 Show us thy kindness, O Lord, and grant us thy 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 pious ones: only let them not turn again to folly.
Lad os skue din Miskundhed, HERRE, din Frelse give du os!
9 Surely, nigh is his salvation unto those 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 Kindness and truth are met together: righteousness and peace kiss each other.
ja, nær er hans Frelse for dem, som frygter ham, snart skal Herlighed bo i vort Land;
11 Truth will grow up out of the earth, and righteousness will look down from heaven.
Miskundhed og Sandhed mødes, Retfærd og Fred skal kysse hinanden;
12 Yea, the Lord will also give the good, and our land will yield its products.
af Jorden spirer Sandhed frem, fra Himlen skuer Retfærd ned.
13 Righteousness will walk firmly before him, and will make [level] the way by its steps.
Derhos giver HERREN Lykke, sin Afgrøde giver vort Land; Retfærd vandrer foran ham og følger ogsaa hans Fjed.
