Salme 85
1 (Til Sangmesteren. Af Koras Sønner. En Salme.) Du var nådig, HERRE, imod dit land du vendte Jakobs Skæbne,
TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. You have accepted, O YHWH, Your land, You have turned [to] the captivity of Jacob.
2 tog Skylden bort fra dit Folk og skjulte al deres Synd. (Sela)
You have carried away the iniquity of Your people, You have covered all their sin. (Selah)
3 Du lod al din Vrede fare, tvang din glødende Harme.
You have gathered up all Your wrath, You have turned back from the fierceness of Your anger.
4 Vend tilbage, vor Frelses Gud, hør op med din Uvilje mod os!
Turn back [to] us, O God of our salvation, And make void Your anger with us.
5 Vil du vredes på os for evigt, holde fast ved din Harme fra Slægt til Slægt?
Are You angry against us for all time? Do You draw out Your anger To generation and generation?
6 Vil du ikke skænke os Liv På ny, så dit Folk kan glæde sig i dig!
Do You not turn back? You revive us, And Your people rejoice in You.
7 Lad os skue din Miskundhed, HERRE, din Frelse give du os!
Show us, O YHWH, your kindness, And You give to 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 hear what God, YHWH, speaks, For He speaks peace to His people, And to His saints, and they do not turn back to folly.
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 fearing Him, That glory may dwell in our land.
10 Miskundhed og Sandhed mødes, Retfærd og Fred skal kysse hinanden;
Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed,
11 af Jorden spirer Sandhed frem, fra Himlen skuer Retfærd ned.
Truth springs up from the earth, And righteousness looks out from the heavens,
12 Derhos giver HERREN Lykke, sin Afgrøde giver vort Land;
YHWH also gives that which is good, And our land gives its increase.
13 Retfærd vandrer foran ham og følger også hans Fjed.
Righteousness goes before Him, And makes a way for His footsteps!
