Psalms 17
1 A prayer of David hear! O Yahweh - righteousness pay attention to! cry of entreaty my give ear to! prayer my with not lips of deceit.
En Bøn af David. Herre! hør Retfærdighed, giv Agt paa mit Raab, vend Øren til min Bøn, som ikke sker med svigefulde Læber.
2 From to before you judgment my may it come forth eyes your may they see uprightness.
Lad min Ret udgaa fra dit Ansigt; lad dine Øjne beskue Retskaffenhed.
3 You have tested heart my - you have visited night you have tested me not you will find I have resolved not it will transgress mouth my.
Du prøvede mit Hjerte, du besøgte det om Natten, du smeltede mig: Du fandt intet; jeg tænkte, min Mund skal ikke overtræde.
4 To [the] deeds of humankind by [the] word of lips your I I have watched [the] paths of violent person[s].
Med Hensyn paa Menneskenes Gerninger, da har jeg vogtet mig for Røveres Stier efter dine Læbers Ord.
5 They have held firm steps my in tracks your not they have been shaken footsteps my.
Mine Skridt holdt sig paa dine Veje, mine Trin rokkedes ikke.
6 I I call out to you for you will answer me O God incline ear your to me hear utterance my.
Jeg raaber til dig; thi du, Gud! bønhører mig; bøj dit Øre til mig, hør min Tale!
7 Make wonderful covenant loyalti your O deliverer of [those who] take refuge from [those who] rise up by right [hand] your.
Bevis din underfulde Miskundhed, du, som med din højre Haand frelser dem, som tro, fra Modstanderne.
8 Keep me like [the] pupil of [the] daughter of an eye in [the] shadow of wings your you will hide me.
Bevar mig som Øjestenen, Øjets Datter, skjul mig under dine Vingers Skygge
9 From before wicked [people] who they have assailed me enemies my with soul they surround me.
for de ugudeliges Ansigt, som ødelægge mig, for min Sjæls Fjender, som omringe mig.
10 Fat their they have closed up mouth their they have spoken with pride.
De lukke deres Hjerte til, de tale med deres Mund af Hovmod.
11 Steps our now (they have surrounded us *Q(K)*) eyes their they set to bend down on the ground.
Hvor vi gaa, have de nu omringet os; deres Øjemed er, at vi maa glide paa Jorden.
12 Likeness his [is] like a lion [which] it longs to tear to pieces and like a young lion [which] sits in hiding places.
Han er lig en Løve, der higer efter Rov, og lig en ung Løve, der sidder i Skjul.
13 Arise! O Yahweh confront! face his make bow down him deliver! life my from [the] wicked sword your.
Herre! staa op, forekom ham, bøj ham; frels min Sjæl fra den ugudelige ved dit Sværd,
14 From men hand your - O Yahweh from men from [the] world [whom] portion their [is] in the life (and treasured [thing] your *Q(K)*) you fill belly their they are satisfied sons and they leave abundance their to children their.
fra Folk ved din Haand; Herre! fra Verdens Folk, som have deres Del i Livet, øg hvis Bug du fylder med dine Skatte; deres Børn mættes, og det, som de have tilovers, efterlade de til deres spæde Børn.
15 I in righteousness I will see face your I will be satisfied when awake likeness your.
Men jeg skal beskue dit Ansigt i Retfærdighed; jeg skal mættes ved din Skikkelse, naar jeg opvaagner.
