Psalms 65
1 God, it is right/appropriate [for us] to praise you in Jerusalem, and to do what [we] have promised you that [we] would do,
Til songmeisteren; ein salme av David, ein song. Gud, dei er stille for deg og prisar deg på Sion, og dei gjev deg det dei hev lova.
2 [because] you answer our prayers. People everywhere will come to you
Du som høyrer bøner, til deg kjem alt kjøt.
3 because of the sins [that they have committed]. Our many sins are like a very heavy burden to us, but you forgive us.
Når misgjerningar hev vorte for sterke for meg, so forlet du våre forbrot.
4 You are pleased with those whom you have chosen to live close to your temple. We are happy with all the blessings that we receive from [worshiping in] your sacred temple.
Sæl er den som du vel ut og let koma nær, so han bur i dine fyregardar; me vil metta oss med det gode i ditt hus, ditt heilage tempel.
5 [God, when we pray to you], you answer us and save us by doing awesome deeds; you are the one who rescues us; people who live in very remote places on the earth, on the other side of the oceans, trust in you.
Med skræmelege gjerningar bønhøyrer du oss i rettferd, du, vår Frelse-Gud, ei livd for alle heimsens endar og havet langt burte.
6 By your strength you put the mountains in their places, [showing that] you are very powerful.
Han gjer fjelli faste med si kraft, gyrd med velde.
7 You calm the seas when they roar, and you stop the waves from crashing [on the shore]; you [also] calm people when they (make a great uproar/shout angrily together).
Han døyver havsens dur, bylgjeduren og bråket av folkeslagi.
8 People who live in very remote/distant places on the earth (are awed by/revere) you because of the miracles that you perform; because of what you do, people who live far to the west and far to the east shout joyfully.
Og dei som bur ved endarne av jordi, ræddast for dine teikn, heimen for morgon og kveld fyller du med lovsong.
9 You take care of the soil and send rain, causing many good things to grow; you fill the streams with water, and cause grain/crops to grow. That is what you have determined/said would happen.
Du hev gjesta jordi og gjeve henne ovnøgd, du hev gjort henne ovleg rik, Guds bekk er full av vatn. Du hev laga til korn for folk, for soleis laga du jordi til.
10 You [send plenty of rain] on the fields that have been plowed, and you fill the furrows with water. With showers you soften the [hard clods/lumps of] soil, and you bless the soil by causing young plants to grow.
Du vatna hennar plogforer, jamna dei med upp-pløgde åkrar, du bløytte henne med regnskurer, velsigna hennar grøda.
11 Because you bless the soil, there are very good crops at harvest season; wherever you have gone [MTY], good crops are very abundant [IDM].
Du hev krynt ditt gode år, og dine fotspor dryp av feitt.
12 The pastures are full of flocks [of sheep and goats]; [it is as though] the hills are very joyful.
Beiti i øydemarki dryp, og haugarne gyrdar seg med lovsong.
13 The meadows are full of sheep and goats, and the valleys are full of grain; [it is as though] they [also] sing and shout joyfully.
Engjarne er klædde med sauer, og dalarne er fyllte med korn; folk fegnast og syng.
