Psalms 85
1 For the chief musician. A psalm of the sons of Korah. Yahweh, you have showed favor to your land; you have restored the well-being of Jacob.
Til Sangmesteren. Af Koras Sønner. En Salme.
2 You have forgiven the sin of your people; you have covered all their sin. (Selah)
Du var naadig, HERRE, imod dit Land, du vendte Jakobs Skæbne,
3 You have withdrawn all your wrath; you have turned back from your hot anger.
tog Skylden bort fra dit Folk og skjulte al deres Synd. (Sela)
4 Restore us, God of our salvation, and let go of your displeasure with us.
Du lod al din Vrede fare, tvang din glødende Harme.
5 Will you be angry with us forever? Will you remain angry throughout future generations?
Vend tilbage, vor Frelses Gud, hør op med din Uvilje mod os!
6 Will you not revive us again? Then your people will rejoice in you.
Vil du vredes paa os for evigt, holde fast ved din Harme fra Slægt til Slægt?
7 Show us your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, grant us your salvation.
Vil du ikke skænke os Liv Paa ny, saa dit Folk kan glæde sig i dig!
8 I will listen to what Yahweh God says, for he will make peace with his people, his faithful followers. Yet they must not turn again to foolish ways.
Lad os skue din Miskundhed, HERRE, din Frelse give du os!
9 Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him; then glory will remain in our land.
Jeg vil høre, hvad Gud HERREN taler! Visselig taler han Fred til sit Folk og til sine fromme og til dem, der vender deres Hjerte til ham;
10 Covenant faithfulness and trustworthiness have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
ja, nær er hans Frelse for dem, som frygter ham, snart skal Herlighed bo i vort Land;
11 Trustworthiness springs up from the ground, and righteousness looks down from the sky.
Miskundhed og Sandhed mødes, Retfærd og Fred skal kysse hinanden;
12 Yes, Yahweh will give his good blessings, and our land will yield its crops.
af Jorden spirer Sandhed frem, fra Himlen skuer Retfærd ned.
13 Righteousness will go before him and make a way for his footsteps.
Derhos giver HERREN Lykke, sin Afgrøde giver vort Land; Retfærd vandrer foran ham og følger ogsaa hans Fjed.
