Psalms 40
1 To the choirmaster of David a psalm. Certainly I waited for Yahweh and he stretched out to me and he heard cry for help my.
Til Sangmesteren. Af David. En Salme.
2 And he brought up me - from a pit of roaring from [the] mud of the mire and he set on a rock feet my he established steps my.
Jeg biede trolig paa HERREN, han bøjed sig til mig og hørte mit Skrig.
3 And he put in mouth my - a song new praise to God our they will see many [people] so they may fear and they may trust in Yahweh.
Han drog mig op af den brusende Grav, af det skidne Dynd, han satte min Fod paa en Klippe, gav Skridtene Fasthed,
4 How blessed! [is] the man who he has made Yahweh trust his and not he has turned to proud people and [those who] fall away of falsehood.
en ny Sang lagde han i min Mund, en Lovsang til vor Gud. Mange skal se det og frygte og stole paa HERREN.
5 Many you have made - you - O Yahweh God my wonders your and plans your to us not - to compare to you I will declare and I will speak they are [too] numerous for recounting.
Salig den Mand, der sætter sin Lid til HERREN, ej vender sig til hovmodige eller dem, der hælder til Løgn.
6 Sacrifice and offering - not you desired ears you dug for me burnt offering and sin offering not you asked for.
Mange Undere gjorde du, HERRE min Gud, og mange Tanker tænkte du for os; de kan ikke opregnes for dig; ellers forkyndte og fortalte jeg dem; til at tælles er de for mange.
7 Then I said here! I have come in [the] scroll of [the] book [it is] written on me.
Til Slagt— og Afgrødeoffer har du ej Lyst, du gav mig aabne Ører, Brænd— og Syndoffer kræver du ikke.
8 To do will your O God my I desire and law your [is] in [the] midst of inward parts my.
Da sagde jeg: »Se, jeg kommer, i Bogrullen er der givet mig Forskrift;
9 I have borne news righteousness - in [the] assembly great here! lips my not I restrain O Yahweh you you know.
at gøre din Vilje, min Gud, er min Lyst, og din Lov er i mit Indre.«
10 Righteousness your not I have concealed - in [the] midst of heart my faithfulness your and salvation your I have spoken not I have hidden covenant loyalty your and faithfulness your to [the] assembly great.
I en stor Forsamling forkyndte jeg Retfærd, se, mine Læber lukked jeg ikke; HERRE, du ved det.
11 You O Yahweh not you will withhold compassion your from me covenant loyalty your and faithfulness your continually they preserve me.
Din Retfærd dulgte jeg ej i mit Hjerte, din Trofasthed og Frelse talte jeg Om, din Naade og Sandhed fornægted jeg ej i en stor Forsamling.
12 For they have surrounded me - troubles until there not [was] number they have overtaken me iniquities my and not I am able to see they are numerous more than [the] hairs of head my and heart my it has abandoned me.
Du, HERRE, vil ikke lukke dit Hjerte for mig, din Naade og Sandhed skal altid være mit Værn.
13 Be pleased O Yahweh to deliver me O Yahweh to help my make haste!
Thi Ulykker lejrer sig om mig i talløs Mængde, mine Synder har indhentet mig, saa jeg ikke kan se, de er flere end Hovedets Haar, og Modet har svigtet.
14 May they be ashamed and they may be abashed - altogether [those who] seek life my to snatch away it may they be turned back backwards and may they be humiliated [the] [people] desirous of harm my.
Du værdiges, HERRE, at fri mig, HERRE, il mig til Hjælp.
15 May they be appalled on [the] consequence of shame their those [who] say to me aha! - aha!
Lad dem beskæmmes og rødme, som vil mig til Livs, og de, der ønsker mig ondt, lad dem vige med Skændsel;
16 May they exult and they may rejoice - in you all [those who] seek you may they say continually he is great Yahweh [those who] love salvation your.
Lad dem stivne af Rædsel ved deres Skam, de, som siger: »Ha, ha!« til mig!
17 And I - [am] poor and needy [the] Lord may he think to me [are] help my and deliverer my you O God my may not you delay.
Lad alle, som søger dig, frydes og glædes i dig; lad dem, som elsker din Frelse, bestandig sige: »HERREN er stor!« Er jeg end arm og fattig, vil Herren dog tænke paa mig. Du er min Hjælp og min Frelser; tøv ej, min Gud!
