Psalms 7
1 Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite. O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
En Sjiggajon af David, som han sang for HERREN i anledning af Benjaminiten Kusj's Ord.
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
HERRE min Gud, jeg lider paa dig, frels mig og fri mig fra hver min Forfølger,
3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there is iniquity in my hands;
at han ej som en Løve skal rive mig sønder, bortrive, uden at nogen befrier.
4 If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is my enemy: )
HERRE min Gud, har jeg handlet saa, er der Uret i mine Hænder,
5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay my honour in the dust. (Selah)
har jeg voldet dem ondt, der holdt Fred med mig, uden Aarsag gjort mine Fjender Men,
6 Arise, O LORD, in thy anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of my enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.
saa forfølge og indhente Fjenden min Sjæl, han træde mit Liv til Jorden og kaste min Ære i Støvet. (Sela)
7 So shall the congregation of the people surround thee: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
HERRE, staa op i din Vrede, rejs dig imod mine Fjenders Fnysen, vaagn op, min Gud, du sætte Retten!
8 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity that is in me.
Lad Folkeflokken samles om dig, tag Sæde over den hist i det høje!
9 O let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
HERREN dømmer Folkeslag. Mig dømme du, HERRE, efter min Retfærd og Uskyld!
10 My defence is from God, who saveth the upright in heart.
Paa gudløses Ondskab gøre du Ende, støt den retfærdige, du, som prøver Hjerter og Nyrer, retfærdige Gud.
11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
Mit Skjold er hos Gud, han frelser de oprigtige af Hjertet;
12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
retfærdig som Dommer er Gud, en Gud, der hver Dag vredes.
13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
Visselig hvæsser han atter sit Sværd, han spænder sin Bue og sigter;
14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
men mod sig selv har han rettet de dræbende Vaaben, gjort sine Pile til brændende Pile.
15 He made a pit, and dug it, and hath fallen into the ditch which he made.
Se, han undfanger Tomhed, svanger med Ulykke føder han Blændværk;
16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon the crown of his head.
han grov en Grube, han huled den ud, men faldt i den Grav, han gjorde.
17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
Ulykken falder ned paa hans Hoved, hans Uret rammer hans egen Isse. Jeg vil takke HERREN for hans Retfærd, lovsynge HERREN den Højestes Navn.
