< Psalms 132 >

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. Remember, YHWH, for David, all his afflictions;
(Sang til Festrejserne.) HERRE, kom David i Hu for al hans møje,
2 Who has sworn to YHWH, He has vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
hvorledes han tilsvor HERREN, gav Jakobs Vældige et Løfte:
3 “If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed,
"Jeg træder ej ind i mit Huses Telt, jeg stiger ej op på mit Leje,
4 If I give sleep to my eyes, To my eyelids—slumber,
under ikke mine Øjne Søvn, ikke mine Øjenlåg Hvile,
5 Until I find a place for YHWH, dwelling places for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
før jeg har fundet HERREN et Sted, Jakobs Vældige en Bolig!"
6 Behold, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have found it in the fields of the forest.
"Se, i Efrata hørte vi om den, fandt den på Ja'ars Mark;
7 We come into His dwelling places, We bow ourselves at His footstool.
lad os gå hen til hans Bolig, tilbede ved hans Fødders Skammel!"
8 Arise, O YHWH, to Your rest, You, and the Ark of Your strength,
HERRE, bryd op til dit Hvilested, du og din Vældes Ark!
9 Your priests put on righteousness, And Your pious ones cry aloud.
Dine Præster være klædte i Retfærd, dine fromme synge med Fryd!
10 For the sake of Your servant David, Do not turn back the face of Your anointed.
For din Tjener Davids Skyld afvise du ikke din Salvede!"
11 YHWH has sworn truth to David, He does not turn back from it: “Of the fruit of your body, I set on the throne for you.
HERREN tilsvor David et troværdigt, usvigeligt Løfte: "Af din Livsens Frugt vil jeg sætte Konger på din Trone.
12 If your sons keep My covenant, And My testimonies that I teach them, Their sons also forever and ever Sit on the throne for you.”
Såfremt dine Sønner holder min Pagt og mit Vidnesbyrd, som jeg lærer dem, skal også deres Sønner sidde evindelig på din Trone!
13 For YHWH has fixed on Zion, He has desired [it] for a seat to Himself,
Thi HERREN har udvalgt Zion, ønsket sig det til Bolig:
14 “This [is] My rest forever and ever, Here I sit, for I have desired it.
Her er for evigt mit Hvilested, her vil jeg bo, thi det har jeg ønsket.
15 I greatly bless her provision, I satisfy her poor [with] bread,
Dets Føde velsigner jeg, dets fattige mætter jeg med Brød,
16 And I clothe her priests [with] salvation, And her pious ones sing aloud.
dets Præster klæder jeg i Frelse, dets fromme skal synge med Fryd.
17 There I cause a horn to spring up for David, I have arranged a lamp for My Anointed.
Der lader jeg Horn vokse frem for David, sikrer min Salvede Lampe.
18 I clothe His enemies [with] shame, And His crown flourishes on Him!”
Jeg klæder hans Fjender i Skam, men på ham skal Kronen stråle!"
