Psalms 7
1 Yahweh my God, I come to you to protect me. Rescue me, save me from all those who are pursuing me [in order to harm me].
En Sjiggajon af David, som han sang for HERREN i anledning af Benjaminiten Kusj's Ord.
2 If you do not do that, they will tear me into pieces like a lion does [when it attacks the animals it wants to kill], and no one will save me [from them].
HERRE min Gud, jeg lider paa dig, frels mig og fri mig fra hver min Forfølger,
3 Yahweh my God, if I have done anything that is wrong,
at han ej som en Løve skal rive mig sønder, bortrive, uden at nogen befrier.
4 if I have done evil to some friend who did good things to me, or if, for no good reason, I have spared (OR, acted violently toward) those who were my enemies,
HERRE min Gud, har jeg handlet saa, er der Uret i mine Hænder,
5 allow my enemies to pursue me and capture me. Allow them to trample me into the ground and leave me [SYN] [lying dead] in the dirt.
har jeg voldet dem ondt, der holdt Fred med mig, uden Aarsag gjort mine Fjender Men,
6 But Yahweh, because you are [very] angry [with those who pursue me], arise and attack/defeat my enemies who are furiously/angrily [attacking me] Do to them what is just!
saa forfølge og indhente Fjenden min Sjæl, han træde mit Liv til Jorden og kaste min Ære i Støvet. (Sela)
7 Gather around you the people of [all] nations, and rule them from where you are in heaven [MTY].
HERRE, staa op i din Vrede, rejs dig imod mine Fjenders Fnysen, vaagn op, min Gud, du sætte Retten!
8 Yahweh, judge the people of [all] nations! And, Yahweh, show that I have done nothing that is wrong.
Lad Folkeflokken samles om dig, tag Sæde over den hist i det høje!
9 God, you know what every person is thinking, and because you are righteous, you [always] do what is just/right. [So now] stop evil people from doing wicked [deeds], and defend [all of us who are] righteous!
HERREN dømmer Folkeslag. Mig dømme du, HERRE, efter min Retfærd og Uskyld!
10 God, you protect me like a shield [protects soldiers] [MET]; you protect all those who are righteous in their inner being.
Paa gudløses Ondskab gøre du Ende, støt den retfærdige, du, som prøver Hjerter og Nyrer, retfærdige Gud.
11 You judge [everyone] correctly, and every day you punish [wicked people].
Mit Skjold er hos Gud, han frelser de oprigtige af Hjertet;
12 Whenever your enemies do not (repent/change their behavior), [it is as though] [MET] you sharpen your sword and put a string on your bow [to get ready to kill them].
retfærdig som Dommer er Gud, en Gud, der hver Dag vredes.
13 You are preparing your weapons that kill those whom they strike; the arrows that you will shoot have flaming tips.
Visselig hvæsser han atter sit Sværd, han spænder sin Bue og sigter;
14 Wicked people tell lies, and they think that they surely will be able to do [MET] the evil things that they are planning to do [just as surely as] a pregnant woman [knows that she is going to give birth to a child] [MET].
men mod sig selv har han rettet de dræbende Vaaben, gjort sine Pile til brændende Pile.
15 But when they dig a deep pit [to trap others], they themselves will fall into it.
Se, han undfanger Tomhed, svanger med Ulykke føder han Blændværk;
16 They themselves will experience the trouble that they want to cause others to have; they will hurt themselves by the violent things that they want to do to others.
han grov en Grube, han huled den ud, men faldt i den Grav, han gjorde.
17 I praise Yahweh because he [always acts] righteously/justly; I sing to praise Yahweh, the one who is much greater than any other god.
Ulykken falder ned paa hans Hoved, hans Uret rammer hans egen Isse. Jeg vil takke HERREN for hans Retfærd, lovsynge HERREN den Højestes Navn.
