Psalms 85
1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.] LORD, you have been favorable to your land. You have restored the fortunes of Jacob.
Til Sangmesteren. Af Koras Sønner. En Salme.
2 You have forgiven the iniquity of your people. You have covered all their sin. (Selah)
Du var naadig, HERRE, imod dit Land, du vendte Jakobs Skæbne,
3 You have taken away all your wrath. You have turned from the fierceness of your anger.
tog Skylden bort fra dit Folk og skjulte al deres Synd. (Sela)
4 Restore us, God of our salvation, and cause your indignation toward us to cease.
Du lod al din Vrede fare, tvang din glødende Harme.
5 Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw out your anger to all generations?
Vend tilbage, vor Frelses Gud, hør op med din Uvilje mod os!
6 Won't you revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?
Vil du vredes paa os for evigt, holde fast ved din Harme fra Slægt til Slægt?
7 Show us your loving kindness, LORD. Grant us your 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 to his people, his faithful ones; but let them not turn again to folly.
Lad os skue din Miskundhed, HERRE, din Frelse give du os!
9 Surely his salvation is near those who 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 Mercy and truth meet together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
ja, nær er hans Frelse for dem, som frygter ham, snart skal Herlighed bo i vort Land;
11 Truth springs out of the earth. Righteousness has looked down from heaven.
Miskundhed og Sandhed mødes, Retfærd og Fred skal kysse hinanden;
12 Yes, the LORD will give that which is good. Our land will yield its increase.
af Jorden spirer Sandhed frem, fra Himlen skuer Retfærd ned.
13 Righteousness goes before him, And prepares the way for his steps.
Derhos giver HERREN Lykke, sin Afgrøde giver vort Land; Retfærd vandrer foran ham og følger ogsaa hans Fjed.
