Psalms 85
1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. You have accepted, O YHWH, Your land, You have turned [to] the captivity of Jacob.
Til Sangmesteren; af Koras Børn, en Psalme.
2 You have carried away the iniquity of Your people, You have covered all their sin. (Selah)
Herre! du har haft Velbehag til dit Land, du har ført Jakobs fangne Folk tilbage.
3 You have gathered up all Your wrath, You have turned back from the fierceness of Your anger.
Du har borttaget dit Folks Misgerning, du har skjult al deres Synd. (Sela)
4 Turn back [to] us, O God of our salvation, And make void Your anger with us.
Du har draget al din Harme tilbage, du har bortvendt din grumme Vrede.
5 Are You angry against us for all time? Do You draw out Your anger To generation and generation?
Hjælp os op igen, vor Frelses Gud! og tilintetgør din Fortørnelse imod os.
6 Do You not turn back? You revive us, And Your people rejoice in You.
Vil du evindelig være vred paa os? vil du udstrække din Vrede fra Slægt til Slægt?
7 Show us, O YHWH, your kindness, And You give to us Your salvation.
Vil du ikke gøre os levende igen, at dit Folk maa glæde sig i dig?
8 I hear what God, YHWH, speaks, For He speaks peace to His people, And to His saints, and they do not turn back to folly.
Herre! lad os se din Miskundhed og giv os din Frelse.
9 Surely His salvation [is] near to those fearing Him, That glory may dwell in our land.
Jeg vil høre, hvad Gud Herren tater; thi han skal tale Fred til sit Folk og til sine hellige, kun at de ikke vende tilbage til Daarlighed.
10 Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed,
Ja, hans Frelse er nær hos dem, som ham frygte, at Herlighed maa bo i vort Land.
11 Truth springs up from the earth, And righteousness looks out from the heavens,
Miskundhed og Sandhed møde hinanden; Retfærdighed og Fred kysse hinanden.
12 YHWH also gives that which is good, And our land gives its increase.
Sandhed vokser op af Jorden, og Retfærdighed ser ned af Himmelen.
13 Righteousness goes before Him, And makes a way for His footsteps!
Dertil skal Herren give det gode, og vort Land give sin Grøde. Retfærdighed gaa frem for hans Ansigt og sætte sine Trin paa hans Vej!
