Psalms 85

LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.

(Til Sangmesteren. Af Koras Sønner. En Salme.) Du var nådig, HERRE, imod dit land du vendte Jakobs Skæbne,

Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.

tog Skylden bort fra dit Folk og skjulte al deres Synd. - Sela.

Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.

Du lod al din Vrede fare, tvang din glødende Harme.

Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.

Vend tilbage, vor Frelses Gud, hør op med din Uvilje mod os!

Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?

Vil du vredes på os for evigt, holde fast ved din Harme fra Slægt til Slægt?

Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?

Vil du ikke skænke os Liv På ny, så dit Folk kan glæde sig i dig!

Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.

Lad os skue din Miskundhed, HERRE, din Frelse give du os!

I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.

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;

Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.

ja, nær er hans Frelse for dem, som frygter ham, snart skal Herlighed bo i vort Land;

Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

Miskundhed og Sandhed mødes, Retfærd og Fred skal kysse hinanden;

Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.

af Jorden spirer Sandhed frem, fra Himlen skuer Retfærd ned.

Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.

Derhos giver HERREN Lykke, sin Afgrøde giver vort Land;

Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.

Retfærd vandrer foran ham og følger også hans Fjed.
