Psalms 36
1 TO THE OVERSEER. BY A SERVANT OF YHWH, BY DAVID. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, “Fear of God is not before his eyes,
Til Sangmesteren; af David, Herrens Tjener.
2 For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.
Den ugudeliges Overtrædelser sige mig inden i mit Hjerte: Der er ikke Guds Frygt for hans Øjne.
3 The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently—to do good.
Thi han smigrer for sig selv i sine Øjne, med Hensyn til, at hans Misgerning skulde blive fundet og hadet.
4 He devises iniquity on his bed, He stations himself on a way not good, He does not refuse evil.”
Hans Munds Ord ere Uret og Svig; han har ladet af at handle viselig, at gøre godt.
5 O YHWH, Your kindness [is] in the heavens, Your faithfulness [is] to the clouds.
Han optænker Uret paa sit Leje; han stiller sig paa en Vej, der ikke er god, det onde forkaster han ikke.
6 Your righteousness [is] as mountains of God, Your judgments [are] a great deep. You save man and beast, O YHWH.
Herre! din Miskundhed er i Himlene; din Sandhed naar til Skyerne.
7 How precious [is] Your kindness, O God, And the sons of men trust In the shadow of Your wings.
Din Retfærdighed er som Gudsbjerge, dine Domme som det store Dyb; Herre! du frelser Mennesker og Dyr.
8 They are filled from the fatness of Your house, And You cause them to drink the stream of Your delights.
Gud! hvor dyrebar er din Miskundhed; og Menneskens Børn skulle skjule sig under dine Vingers Skygge.
9 For a fountain of life [is] with You, In Your light we see light.
De skulle mættes af dit Hus's Fedme, og du skal give dem at drikke af din Lifligheds Bæk.
10 Draw out Your kindness to those knowing You, And Your righteousness to the upright of heart.
Thi hos dig er Livets Kilde; i dit Lys skulle vi se Lys.
11 Do not let a foot of pride meet me, And do not let a hand of the wicked move me.
Lad din Miskundhed vare ved imod dem, som dig kende, og din Retfærdighed imod de oprigtige af Hjertet.
12 Workers of iniquity have fallen there, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!
Lad den hovmodiges Fod ikke komme over mig og de ugudeliges Haand ikke bortstøde mig. Hist faldt de, som gjorde Uret; de bleve nedstødte og kunde ikke staa op.
