Psalms 31
1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. In You, O YHWH, I have trusted, Do not let me be ashamed for all time, In Your righteousness deliver me.
Til Sangmesteren; en Psalme af David. Herre! jeg tror paa dig, lad mig ikke beskæmmes evindelig; udfri mig ved din Retfærdighed.
2 Incline Your ear to me quickly, deliver me, Be to me for a strong rock, For a house of bulwarks to save me.
Bøj dit Øre til mig, red mig hastelig; vær mig en fast Klippe, en sikker Borg til at frelse mig.
3 For You [are] my rock and my bulwark, For Your Name’s sake lead me and tend me.
Thi du er min Klippe og min Befæstning, og for dit Navns Skyld vil du lede mig og føre mig.
4 Bring me out from the net that they hid for me, For You [are] my strength.
Du vil udføre mig af Garnet, som de have skjult for mig; thi du er min Styrke.
5 Into Your hand I commit my spirit, You have redeemed me, YHWH God of truth.
I din Haand befaler jeg min Aand; du forløste mig, Herre, du sande Gud!
6 I have hated the observers of lying vanities, And I have been confident toward YHWH.
Jeg hader dem, som tage Vare paa Løgnens Gøglebilleder; men paa Herren forlader jeg mig.
7 I rejoice, and am glad in Your kindness, In that You have seen my affliction, You have known my soul in adversities.
Jeg vil fryde mig og være glad ved din Miskundhed; thi du har set min Elendighed, du har kendt min Sjæleangest.
8 And You have not shut me up, Into the hand of an enemy, You have caused my feet to stand in a broad place.
Du overantvordede mig ikke i Fjendens Haand; du lod mine Fødder staa paa et vidt Rum.
9 Favor me, O YHWH, for distress [is] to me, My eye, my soul, and my body Have become old by provocation.
Herre! vær mig naadig, thi jeg er angest; hentæret af Sorg er mit Øje, min Sjæl og min Krop.
10 For my life has been consumed in sorrow And my years in sighing. My strength has been feeble because of my iniquity, And my bones have become old.
Thi mit Liv er svundet hen i Bedrøvelse og mine Aar i Suk; min Kraft er brudt for min Misgernings Skyld, og mine Ben ere hentørrede.
11 I have been a reproach among all my adversaries, And to my neighbors exceedingly, And a fear to my acquaintances, Those seeing me without—fled from me.
Ved alle mine Fjender er jeg bleven til Spot, og det i rigt Maal for mine Naboer og til Forskrækkelse for mine Kyndinge; de, som saa mig udenfor, flyede fra mig.
12 I have been forgotten as dead, out of mind, I have been as a perishing vessel.
Jeg blev glemt, ude af Sinde som en død, jeg var som et Kar, der gaar tabt.
13 For I have heard an evil account of many, Fear [is] all around. In their being united against me, They have devised to take my life,
Thi jeg hørte manges Bagtalelse, der var Rædsel trindt omkring; idet de raadsloge sammen over mig, tænkte de at tage Livet af mig.
14 And I have trusted on You, O YHWH, I have said, “You [are] my God.”
Men jeg forlader mig paa dig, Herre! jeg sagde: Du er min Gud.
15 In Your hand [are] my times, Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from my pursuers.
Mine Tider ere i din Haand; red mig fra mine Fjenders Haand og fra dem, som forfølge mig.
16 Cause Your face to shine on Your servant, Save me in Your kindness.
Lad dit Ansigt lyse over din Tjener; frels mig ved din Miskundhed.
17 O YHWH, do not let me be ashamed, For I have called You, let the wicked be ashamed, Let them become silent to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Herre! lad mig ikke beskæmmes, thi jeg har kaldt paa dig; lad de ugudelige beskæmmes, lad dem tie i Dødsriget. (Sheol h7585)
18 Let lips of falsehood become mute, That are speaking against the righteous, Ancient sayings, in pride and contempt.
Lad de falske Læber blive stumme, som tale frækt i Hovmod og Foragt imod den retfærdige.
19 How abundant is Your goodness, That You have laid up for those fearing You, You have worked for those trusting in You, Before sons of men.
Hvor stor er din Godhed, som du har gemt for dem, som dig frygte, hvilken du har udvist imod dem, som tro paa dig, for Menneskens Børn.
20 You hide them in the secret place of Your presence, From schemes of man, You conceal them in a dwelling place, From the strife of tongues.
Du vil skjule dem i dit Ansigts Skjul for Menneskers Sammensværgelser; du vil gemme dem i en Hytte for Tungers Kiv.
21 Blessed [is] YHWH, For He has made His kindness marvelous To me in a city of bulwarks.
Lovet være Herren! thi han har underligt bevist sin Miskundhed imod mig i en fast Stad.
22 And I have said in my haste, “I have been cut off from before Your eyes,” But You have heard the voice of my supplications, In my crying to You.
Og jeg sagde, der jeg var forfærdet: Jeg er udryddet fra dine Øjne; men du hørte mine ydmyge Begæringers Røst, da jeg raabte til dig.
23 Love YHWH, all you His saints, YHWH is keeping the faithful, And repaying a proud doer abundantly.
Elsker Herren, alle hans hellige! Herren bevarer de trofaste og betaler i Overmaal ham, som øver Hovmod.
24 Be strong, and He strengthens your heart, All you who are waiting for YHWH!
Værer frimodige, og han skal styrke eders Hjerte, alle I, som haabe paa Herren!
