Salme 85
1 (Til Sangmesteren. Af Koras Sønner. En Salme.) Du var nådig, HERRE, imod dit land du vendte Jakobs Skæbne,
To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. Thou hast been favourable, Jehovah, unto thy land; thou hast turned the captivity of Jacob:
2 tog Skylden bort fra dit Folk og skjulte al deres Synd. (Sela)
Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people; thou hast covered all their sin. (Selah)
3 Du lod al din Vrede fare, tvang din glødende Harme.
Thou hast withdrawn all thy wrath; thou hast turned from the fierceness of thine anger.
4 Vend tilbage, vor Frelses Gud, hør op med din Uvilje mod os!
Bring us back, O God of our salvation, and cause thine indignation toward us to cease.
5 Vil du vredes på os for evigt, holde fast ved din Harme fra Slægt til Slægt?
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger from generation to generation?
6 Vil du ikke skænke os Liv På ny, så dit Folk kan glæde sig i dig!
Wilt thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee?
7 Lad os skue din Miskundhed, HERRE, din Frelse give du os!
Shew us thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, and grant us thy 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 hear what God, Jehovah, will speak; for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his godly ones: but let them not turn again to folly.
9 ja, nær er hans Frelse for dem, som frygter ham, snart skal Herlighed bo i vort Land;
Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Miskundhed og Sandhed mødes, Retfærd og Fred skal kysse hinanden;
Loving-kindness and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other:
11 af Jorden spirer Sandhed frem, fra Himlen skuer Retfærd ned.
Truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from the heavens.
12 Derhos giver HERREN Lykke, sin Afgrøde giver vort Land;
Jehovah also will give what is good, and our land shall yield its increase.
13 Retfærd vandrer foran ham og følger også hans Fjed.
Righteousness shall go before him, and shall set his footsteps on the way.
