Psalms 92

1 A Psalm of a Song for the Sabbath-day. It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to your name, O you Most High;

En Salme. En Sang for Sabbatsdagen.

2 to proclaim your mercy in the morning, and your truth by night,

Det er godt at takke HERREN, lovsynge dit Navn, du Højeste,

3 on a lute of ten strings, with a song on the harp.

ved Gry forkynde din Naade, om Natten din Trofasthed

4 For you, O Lord, have made me glad with your work: and in the operations of your hands will I exult.

til tistrenget Lyre, til Harpe, til Strengeleg paa Citer!

5 How have your works been magnified, O Lord! your thoughts are very deep.

Thi ved dit Værk har du glædet mig, HERRE, jeg jubler over dine Hænders Gerning.

6 A foolish man will not know, and a senseless man will not understand this.

Hvor store er dine Gerninger, HERRE, dine Tanker saare dybe!

7 When the sinners spring up as the grass, and all the workers of iniquity have watched; [it is] that they may be utterly destroyed for ever.

Taaben fatter det ikke, Daaren skønner ej sligt.

8 But you, O Lord, are most high for ever.

Spirer de gudløse end som Græsset, blomstrer end alle Udaadsmænd, er det kun for at lægges øde for stedse,

9 For, behold, your enemies shall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

men du er ophøjet for evigt, HERRE.

10 But my horn shall be exalted [as the horn] of a unicorn; and mine old age with rich mercy.

Thi se, dine Fjender, HERRE, se, dine Fjender gaar under, alle Udaadsmænd spredes!

11 And mine eye has seen mine enemies, and mine ear shall hear the wicked that rise up against me.

Du har løftet mit Horn som Vildoksens, kvæget mig med den friskeste Olie;

12 The righteous shall flourish as a palm tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus.

det fryder mit Øje at se mine Fjender, mit Øre at høre mine Avindsmænd.

13 They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.

De retfærdige grønnes som Palmen, vokser som Libanons Ceder;

14 Then shall they be increased in a fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare

plantet i HERRENS Hus grønnes de i vor Guds Forgaarde;

15 that the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.

selv graanende bærer de Frugt, er friske og fulde af Saft for at vidne, at HERREN er retvis, min Klippe, hos hvem ingen Uret findes.
