Psalms 103
1 [By David.] Praise YHWH, my soul, and all that is within me, praise his holy name.
Af David. Min Sjæl, lov HERREN, og alt i mig love hans hellige Navn!
2 Praise YHWH, my soul, and do not forget all his benefits;
Min Sjæl, lov HERREN, og glem ikke alle hans Velgerninger!
3 who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases;
Han, som tilgiver alle dine Misgerninger og læger alle dine Sygdomme,
4 who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies;
han, som udløser dit Liv fra Graven og kroner dig med Miskundhed og Barmhjertighed,
5 who satisfies your desire with good things; your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
han, som mætter din Sjæl med godt, saa du bliver ung igen som Ørnen!
6 YHWH executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed.
HERREN øver Retfærdighed og Ret mod alle fortrykte.
7 He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the children of Israel.
Han lod Moses se sine Veje, Israels Børn sine Gerninger;
8 YHWH is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.
barmhjertig og naadig er HERREN, langmodig og rig paa Miskundhed;
9 He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.
han gaar ikke bestandig i Rette, gemmer ej evigt paa Vrede;
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities.
han handled ej med os efter vore Synder, gengældte os ikke efter vor Brøde.
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.
Men saa højt som Himlen er over Jorden, er hans Miskundhed stor over dem, der frygter ham.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
Saa langt som Østen er fra Vesten, har han fjernet vore Synder fra os.
13 Like a father has compassion on his children, so YHWH has compassion on those who fear him.
Som en Fader forbarmer sig over sine Børn, forbarmer HERREN sig over dem, der frygter ham.
14 For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.
Thi han kender vor Skabning, han kommer i Hu, vi er Støv;
15 As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
som Græs er Menneskets Dage, han blomstrer som Markens Blomster;
16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.
naar et Vejr farer over ham, er han ej mere, hans Sted faar ham aldrig at se igen.
17 But YHWH's loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children's children;
Men HERRENS Miskundhed varer fra Evighed og til Evighed over dem, der frygter ham, og hans Retfærd til Børnenes Børn
18 to those who keep his covenant, to those who remember to obey his precepts.
for dem, der holder hans Pagt og kommer hans Bud i Hu, saa de gør derefter.
19 YHWH has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all.
HERREN har rejst sin Trone i Himlen, alt er hans Kongedømme underlagt.
20 Praise YHWH, all you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word.
Lov HERREN, I hans Engle, I vældige i Kraft, som gør, hvad han byder, saa snart I hører hans Røst.
21 Praise YHWH, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure.
Lov HERREN, alle hans Hærskarer, hans Tjenere, som fuldbyrder hans Vilje.
22 Praise YHWH, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion. Praise YHWH, my soul.
Lov HERREN, alt, hvad han skabte, paa hvert eneste Sted i hans Rige! Min Sjæl, lov HERREN!
