Psalms 36
1 For the Chief Musician. By David, the servant of the LORD. A revelation is within my heart about the disobedience of the wicked: There is no fear of God before his eyes.
Til Sangmesteren; af David, Herrens Tjener.
2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect and hate his sin.
Den ugudeliges Overtrædelser sige mig inden i mit Hjerte: Der er ikke Guds Frygt for hans Øjne.
3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
Thi han smigrer for sig selv i sine Øjne, med Hensyn til, at hans Misgerning skulde blive fundet og hadet.
4 He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn’t abhor evil.
Hans Munds Ord ere Uret og Svig; han har ladet af at handle viselig, at gøre godt.
5 Your loving kindness, LORD, is in the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
Han optænker Uret paa sit Leje; han stiller sig paa en Vej, der ikke er god, det onde forkaster han ikke.
6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgements are like a great deep. LORD, you preserve man and animal.
Herre! din Miskundhed er i Himlene; din Sandhed naar til Skyerne.
7 How precious is your loving kindness, God! The children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings.
Din Retfærdighed er som Gudsbjerge, dine Domme som det store Dyb; Herre! du frelser Mennesker og Dyr.
8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.
Gud! hvor dyrebar er din Miskundhed; og Menneskens Børn skulle skjule sig under dine Vingers Skygge.
9 For with you is the spring of life. In your light we will see light.
De skulle mættes af dit Hus's Fedme, og du skal give dem at drikke af din Lifligheds Bæk.
10 Oh continue your loving kindness to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.
Thi hos dig er Livets Kilde; i dit Lys skulle vi se Lys.
11 Don’t let the foot of pride come against me. Don’t let the hand of the wicked drive me away.
Lad din Miskundhed vare ved imod dem, som dig kende, og din Retfærdighed imod de oprigtige af Hjertet.
12 There the workers of iniquity are fallen. They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
Lad den hovmodiges Fod ikke komme over mig og de ugudeliges Haand ikke bortstøde mig. Hist faldt de, som gjorde Uret; de bleve nedstødte og kunde ikke staa op.
