Psalms 85
1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.] YHWH, you have been favorable to your land. You have restored the fortunes of Jacob.
Til Sangmesteren; af Koras Børn, en Psalme.
2 You have forgiven 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 taken away all your wrath. You have turned from the fierceness of your anger.
Du har borttaget dit Folks Misgerning, du har skjult al deres Synd. (Sela)
4 Restore us, God of our salvation, and cause your indignation toward us to cease.
Du har draget al din Harme tilbage, du har bortvendt din grumme Vrede.
5 Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw out your anger to all generations?
Hjælp os op igen, vor Frelses Gud! og tilintetgør din Fortørnelse imod os.
6 Won't you revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?
Vil du evindelig være vred paa os? vil du udstrække din Vrede fra Slægt til Slægt?
7 Show us your loving kindness, YHWH. Grant us your salvation.
Vil du ikke gøre os levende igen, at dit Folk maa glæde sig i dig?
8 I will hear what God, YHWH, will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, his faithful ones; but let them not turn again to folly.
Herre! lad os se din Miskundhed og giv os din Frelse.
9 Surely his salvation is near those who fear 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 Mercy and truth meet together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
Ja, hans Frelse er nær hos dem, som ham frygte, at Herlighed maa bo i vort Land.
11 Truth springs out of the earth. Righteousness has looked down from heaven.
Miskundhed og Sandhed møde hinanden; Retfærdighed og Fred kysse hinanden.
12 Yes, YHWH will give that which is good. Our land will yield its increase.
Sandhed vokser op af Jorden, og Retfærdighed ser ned af Himmelen.
13 Righteousness goes before him, And prepares the way for his steps.
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!
