Salme 36
1 (Til sangmesteren. Af HERRENs tjener David.) Synden taler til den Gudløse inde i hans Hjerte; Gudsfrygt har han ikke for Øje;
TO THE OVERSEER. BY A SERVANT OF YHWH, BY DAVID. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, “Fear of God is not before his eyes,
2 thi den smigrer ham frækt og siger, at ingen skal finde hans Brøde og hade ham.
For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.
3 Hans Munds Ord er Uret og Svig, han har ophørt at handle klogt og godt;
The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently—to do good.
4 på sit Leje udtænker han Uret, han træder en Vej, som ikke er god; det onde afskyr han ikke.
He devises iniquity on his bed, He stations himself on a way not good, He does not refuse evil.”
5 HERRE, din Miskundhed rækker til Himlen, din Trofasthed når til Skyerne,
O YHWH, Your kindness [is] in the heavens, Your faithfulness [is] to the clouds.
6 din Retfærd er som Guds Bjerge, dine Domme som det store Dyb; HERRE, du frelser Folk og Fæ,
Your righteousness [is] as mountains of God, Your judgments [are] a great deep. You save man and beast, O YHWH.
7 hvor dyrebar er dog din Miskundhed, Gud! Og Menneskebørnene skjuler sig i dine Vingers Skygge;
How precious [is] Your kindness, O God, And the sons of men trust In the shadow of Your wings.
8 de kvæges ved dit Huses Fedme, du læsker dem af din Lifligheds Strøm;
They are filled from the fatness of Your house, And You cause them to drink the stream of Your delights.
9 thi hos dig er Livets Kilde, i dit Lys skuer vi Lys!
For a fountain of life [is] with You, In Your light we see light.
10 Lad din Miskundhed blive over dem, der kender dig, din Retfærd over de oprigtige af Hjertet.
Draw out Your kindness to those knowing You, And Your righteousness to the upright of heart.
11 Lad Hovmods Fod ej træde mig ned, gudløses Hånd ej jage mig bort.
Do not let a foot of pride meet me, And do not let a hand of the wicked move me.
12 Se, Udådsmændene falder, slås ned, så de ikke kan rejse sig.
Workers of iniquity have fallen there, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!
