Psalms 89
1 AN INSTRUCTION OF ETHAN THE EZRAHITE. Of the kind acts of YHWH, I sing for all time, From generation to generation I make known Your faithfulness with my mouth,
(En Maskil af Ezraitten Etan.) Om HERRENs, Nåde vil jeg evigt synge, fra Slægt til Slægt med min Mund forkynde din Trofasthed.
2 For I said, “Kindness is built for all time, The heavens! You establish Your faithfulness in them.”
Thi du har sagt: "En evig Bygning er Nåden!" I Himlen har du grundfæstet din Trofasthed.
3 I have made a covenant for My chosen, I have sworn to My servant David:
Jeg sluttede en Pagt med min udvalgte, tilsvor David, min Tjener:
4 “Even for all time I establish your seed, And have built your throne to generation and generation.” (Selah)
"Jeg lader din Sæd bestå for evigt, jeg bygger din Trone fra Slægt til Slægt!" (Sela)
5 And the heavens confess Your wonders, O YHWH, Your faithfulness [is] also in an assembly of holy ones.
Og Himlen priser dit Under, HERRE, din Trofasthed i de Helliges Forsamling.
6 For who in the sky, compares himself to YHWH? [Who] is like to YHWH among sons of the mighty?
Thi hvem i Sky er HERRENs Lige, hvo er som HERREN iblandt Guds Sønner?
7 God is very terrible, In the secret counsel of His holy ones, And fearful over all surrounding Him.
En forfærdelig Gud i de Helliges Kreds, stor og frygtelig over alle omkring ham.
8 O YHWH, God of Hosts, Who [is] like You—a strong YAH? And Your faithfulness [is] around You.
HERRE, Hærskarers Gud, hvo er som du? HERRE, din Nåde og Trofasthed omgiver dig.
9 You [are] ruler over the pride of the sea, In the lifting up of its billows You restrain them.
Du mestrer Havets Overmod; når Bølgerne bruser, stiller du dem.
10 You have bruised Rahab, as one wounded. You have scattered Your enemies with the arm of Your strength.
Du knuste Rahab som en fældet Kriger, splitted dine Fjender med vældig Arm.
11 The heavens [are] Yours, The earth [is] also Yours, The habitable world and its fullness, You have founded them.
Din er Himlen, og din er Jorden, du grundede Jorderig med dets Fylde.
12 North and south You have appointed them, Tabor and Hermon sing in Your Name.
Norden og Sønden skabte du, Tabor og Hermon jubler over dit Navn.
13 You have an arm with might, Strong is Your hand—high Your right hand.
Du har en Arm med Vælde, din Hånd er stærk, din højre løftet.
14 Righteousness and judgment [Are] the fixed place of Your throne, Kindness and truth go before Your face.
Retfærd og Ret er din Trones Grundvold, Nåde og Sandhed står for dit Åsyn.
15 O the blessedness of the people knowing the shout, O YHWH, they habitually walk in the light of Your face.
Saligt det Folk, der kender til Frydesang, vandrer, HERRE, i dit Åsyns Lys!
16 They rejoice in Your Name all the day, And they are exalted in Your righteousness,
De lovsynger Dagen igennem dit Navn, ophøjes ved din Retfærdighed.
17 For You [are] the beauty of their strength, And in Your good will is our horn exalted,
Thi du er vor Styrkes Stolthed, du løfter vort Horn ved din Yndest;
18 For our shield [is] of YHWH, And our king to the Holy One of Israel.
thi vort Skjold er hos HERREN, vor Konge er Israels Hellige!
19 Then You have spoken in vision, To Your saint, indeed, You say, I have placed help on a mighty one, Exalted a chosen one out of the people,
Du taled engang i et Syn til dine fromme: "Krone satte jeg på en Helt, ophøjed en Yngling af Folket;
20 I have found My servant David, With My holy oil I have anointed him.
jeg har fundet David, min Tjener, salvet ham med min hellige Olie;
21 With whom My hand is established, My arm also strengthens him.
thi min Hånd skal holde ham fast, og min Arm skal give ham Styrke.
22 An enemy does not exact on him, And a son of perverseness does not afflict him.
Ingen Fjende skal overvælde ham, ingen Nidding trykke ham ned;
23 And I have beaten down his adversaries before him, And I plague those hating him,
jeg knuser hans Fjender foran ham og nedstøder dem, der bader ham;
24 And My faithfulness and kindness [are] with him, And in My Name is his horn exalted.
med ham skal min Trofasthed og Miskundhed være, hans Horn skal løfte sig ved mit Navn;
25 And I have set his hand on the sea, And his right hand on the rivers.
jeg lægger Havet under hans Hånd og Strømmene under hans højre;
26 He proclaims to Me: “You [are] my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.”
mig skal han kalde: min Fader, min Gud og min Frelses Klippe.
27 I also appoint him firstborn, Highest of the kings of the earth.
Jeg gør ham til førstefødt, den største blandt Jordens Konger;
28 For all time I keep for him My kindness, And My covenant [is] steadfast with him.
jeg bevarer for evigt min Miskundhed mod ham, min Pagt skal holdes ham troligt;
29 And I have set his seed forever, And his throne as the days of the heavens.
jeg lader hans Æt bestå for evigt, hans Trone, så længe Himlen er til.
30 If his sons forsake My law, And do not walk in My judgments;
Hvis hans Sønner svigter min Lov og ikke følger mine Lovbud,
31 If they defile My statutes, And do not keep My commands,
hvis de bryder min Vedtægt og ikke holder mit Bud,
32 I have looked after their transgression with a rod, And their iniquity with strokes,
da hjemsøger jeg deres Synd med Ris, deres Brøde med hårde Slag;
33 And I do not break My kindness from him, Nor do I deal falsely in My faithfulness.
men min Nåde tager jeg ikke fra ham, min Trofasthed svigter jeg ikke;
34 I do not profane My covenant, And I do not change that which is going forth from My lips.
jeg bryder ikke min Pagt og ændrer ej mine Læbers Udsagn.
35 Once I have sworn by My holiness, I do not lie to David,
Ved min Hellighed svor jeg een Gang for alle - David sviger jeg ikke:
36 His seed is for all time, And his throne [is] as the sun before Me,
Hans Æt skal blive for evigt, hans Trone for mig som Solen,
37 It is established as the moon for all time, And the witness in the sky is steadfast. (Selah)
stå fast som Månen for evigt, og Vidnet på Himlen er sanddru, (Sela)
38 And You, You have cast off, and reject, You have shown Yourself angry with Your anointed,
Men du har forstødt og forkastet din Salvede og handlet i Vrede imod ham;
39 Have rejected the covenant of Your servant, You have defiled his crown to the earth,
Pagten med din Tjener har du brudt, vanæret hans Krone og trådt den i Støvet;
40 You have broken down all his hedges, You have made his fortifications a ruin.
du har nedbrudt alle hans Mure, i Grus har du lagt hans Fæstninger;
41 Everyone passing by the way has spoiled him, He has been a reproach to his neighbors,
alle vejfarende plyndrer ham, sine Naboer blev han til Spot.
42 You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries, You have caused all his enemies to rejoice.
Du har løftet hans Uvenners højre og glædet alle hans Fjender;
43 Also—You turn back the sharpness of his sword, And have not established him in battle,
hans Sværd lod du vige for Fjenden, du holdt ham ej oppe i Kampen;
44 Have caused [him] to cease from his brightness, And have cast down his throne to the earth.
du vristed ham Staven af Hænde og styrted hans Trone til Jorden,
45 You have shortened the days of his youth, Have covered him over [with] shame. (Selah)
afkorted hans Ungdoms Dage og hylled ham ind i Skam. (Sela)
46 Until when, O YHWH, are You hidden? Does Your fury burn as fire forever?
Hvor længe vil du skjule dig, HERRE, for evigt, hvor længe skal din Vrede lue som Ild?
47 Remember how [short] my lifetime [is]. Why have You created in vain All the sons of men?
Herre, kom i Hu, hvad Livet er, til hvilken Tomhed du skabte hvert Menneskebarn!
48 Who [is] the man that lives, and does not see death? He delivers his soul from the hand of Sheol. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
Hvo bliver i Live og skuer ej Død, hvo frelser sin sjæl fra Dødsrigets Hånd? (Sela) (Sheol h7585)
49 Where [are] Your former kindnesses, O Lord, [Which] You have sworn to David in Your faithfulness?
Hvor er din fordums Nåde, Herre, som du i Trofasthed tilsvor David?
50 Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants, I have borne in my bosom all the strivings of the peoples,
Kom, Herre, din Tjeners Skændsel i Hu, at jeg bærer Folkenes Spot i min Favn,
51 With which Your enemies reproached, O YHWH, With which they have reproached The steps of Your anointed.
hvorledes dine Fjender håner, HERRE, hvorledes de håner din Salvedes Fodspor.
52 Blessed [is] YHWH for all time. Amen and amen!
Lovet være HERREN i Evighed, Amen, Amen!
