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You have withdrawn all your wrath; you have turned back from your hot anger.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