Salmernes bog 79 |
| 1992 | King James Version |
| 1 Salme af Asaf. Folkene er trængt ind i din ejendom, Gud, de har gjort dit hellige tempel urent og lagt Jerusalem i ruiner. | 1 A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps. |
| 2 De gav dine tjeneres lig som føde til himlens fugle og dine frommes krop til jordens dyr. | 2 The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth. |
| 3 De udgød deres blod som vand, rundt om Jerusalem, og ingen begravede dem. | 3 Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them. |
| 4 Vi er blevet til nar blandt vore naboer, til spot og spe for vore omgivelser. | 4 We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us. |
| 5 Hvor længe vil du dog være vred, Herre, hvor længe skal din lidenskab brænde som ild? | 5 How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire? |
| 6 Udøs din harme over de folk, der ikke kender dig, og over de riger, der ikke påkalder dit navn; | 6 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name. |
| 7 for de har fortæret Jakob og ødelagt hans bolig. | 7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place. |
| 8 Tilregn os ikke vore forfædres synder, lad din barmhjertighed nå os hurtigt, for vi er hjælpeløse. | 8 O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low. |
| 9 Hjælp os, vor frelses Gud, for dit ærede navns skyld. Befri os, og tilgiv vore synder for dit navns skyld. | 9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake. |
| 10 Hvorfor skal folkene sige: »Hvor er deres Gud?« Mens vi ser på det, skal de erfare, at dine tjeneres udgydte blod bliver hævnet. | 10 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed. |
| 11 Lad fangernes stønnen nå dig, sæt de dødsdømte i frihed med din stærke arm. | 11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die; |
| 12 Gengæld vore naboer syvdobbelt på deres egen krop for den hån, de viser dig, Herre. | 12 And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord. |
| 13 Vi er dit folk og de får, du vogter, vi vil takke dig til evig tid, i slægt efter slægt vil vi forkynde din pris. | 13 So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will show forth thy praise to all generations. |
