Psalms 25
1 Of David. To you, O Lord, my soul is lifted up.
(Af David.) HERRE, jeg løfter min sjæl til dig
2 O my God, I have put my faith in you, let me not be shamed; let not my haters be glorying over me.
min Gud jeg stoler på dig, lad mig ikke beskæmmes, lad ej mine Fjender fryde sig over mig.
3 Let no servant of yours be put to shame; may those be shamed who are false without cause.
Nej, ingen som bier på dig, skal beskæmmes; beskæmmes skal de, som er troløse uden Grund.
4 Make your steps clear to me, O Lord; give me knowledge of your ways.
Lad mig kende dine Veje, HERRE lær mig dine Stier.
5 Be my guide and teacher in the true way; for you are the God of my salvation; I am waiting for your word all the day.
Led mig på din Sandheds Vej og lær mig, thi du er min Frelses Gud; jeg bier bestandig på dig.
6 O Lord, keep in mind your pity and your mercies; for they have been from the earliest times.
HERRE, kom din Barmhjertighed i Hu og din Nåde, den er jo fra Evighed af.
7 Do not keep in mind my sins when I was young, or my wrongdoing: let your memory of me be full of mercy, O Lord, because of your righteousness.
Mine Ungdomssynder og Overtrædelser komme du ikke i Hu, men efter din Miskundhed kom mig i Hu, for din Godheds Skyld, o HERRE!
8 Good and upright is the Lord: so he will be the teacher of sinners in the way.
God og oprigtig er HERREN, derfor viser han Syndere Vejen.
9 He will be an upright guide to the poor in spirit: he will make his way clear to them.
Han vejleder ydmyge i det, som er ret, og lærer de ydmyge sin Vej.
10 All the ways of the Lord are mercy and good faith for those who keep his agreement and his witness.
Alle HERRENs Stier er Miskundhed og Trofasthed for dem, der holder hans Pagt og hans Vidnesbyrd.
11 Because of your name, O Lord, let me have forgiveness for my sin, which is very great.
For dit Navns Skyld, HERRE, tilgive du min Brøde, thi den er stor.
12 If a man has the fear of the Lord, the Lord will be his teacher in the way of his pleasure.
Om nogen frygter HERREN, ham viser han den Vej, han skal vælge;
13 His soul will be full of good things, and his seed will have the earth for its heritage.
selv skal han leve i Lykke og hans Sæd få Landet i Eje.
14 The secret of the Lord is with those in whose hearts is the fear of him; he will make his agreement clear to them.
Fortroligt Samfund har HERREN med dem, der frygter ham, og han kundgør dem sin Pagt.
15 My eyes are turned to the Lord at all times; for he will take my feet out of the net.
Mit Øje er stadig vendt imod HERREN, thi han frier mine Fødder af Snaren.
16 Be turned to me, and have mercy on me; for I am troubled and have no helper.
Vend dig til mig og vær mig nådig, thi jeg er ene og arm.
17 The troubles of my heart are increased: O take me out of my sorrows.
Let mit Hjertes Trængsler og før mig ud af min Nød.
18 Give thought to my grief and my pain; and take away all my sins.
Se hen til min Nød og min Kvide og tilgiv alle mine Synder.
19 See how those who are against me are increased, for bitter is their hate of me.
Se hen til mine Fjender, thi de er mange og hader mig med Had uden Grund.
20 O keep my soul, and take me out of danger: let me not be shamed, for I have put my faith in you.
Vogt min Sjæl og frels mig, jeg lider på dig, lad mig ikke beskæmmes.
21 For my clean and upright ways keep me safe, because my hope is in you.
Lad Uskyld og Retsind vogte mig, thi jeg bier på dig, HERRE.
22 Give Israel salvation, O God, out of all his troubles.
Forløs, o Gud, Israel af alle dets Trængsler!
