Salme 66
1 Til Sangmesteren; en Psalmesang. Raaber med Glæde for Gud al Jorden!
Make a joyful noise unto God, all you lands:
2 Synger Psalmer til hans Navns Ære; giver ham Ære til hans Pris.
Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.
3 Siger til Gud: Hvor forfærdelige ere dine Gerninger! for din store Magts Skyld skulle dine Fjender smigre for dig.
Say unto God, How terrible are you in your works! through the greatness of your power shall your enemies submit themselves unto you.
4 Al Jorden skal tilbede dig og lovsynge dig; de skulle lovsynge dit Navn. (Sela)
All the earth shall worship you, and shall sing unto you; they shall sing to your name. (Selah)
5 Gaar hen og ser Guds Værk; han er forfærdelig i Gerning imod Menneskens Børn.
Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.
6 Han omvendte Havet til det tørre, de gik til Fods over Floden; der glædede vi os i ham.
He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
7 Han hersker med sin Magt evindelig, hans Øjne vare paa Hedningerne; de genstridige ophøje sig ikke. (Sela)
He rules by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. (Selah)
8 I Folkefærd! lover vor Gud og lader Røsten høres til hans Pris!
O bless our God, all of you people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:
9 Han holder vor Sjæl i Live og lader ikke vor Fod snuble.
Which holds our soul in life, and suffers not our feet to be moved.
10 Thi du har prøvet os, o Gud! du har lutret os, ligesom Sølv bliver lutret.
For you, O God, have proved us: you have tried us, as silver is tried.
11 Du har ført os i Garnet, du lagde et Tryk paa vore Lænder.
You brought us into the net; you laid affliction upon our loins.
12 Du lod Mennesker fare over vort Hoved; vi ere komne i Ild og i Vand, men du udførte os til at vederkvæges.
You have caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but you brought us out into a wealthy place.
13 Jeg vil gaa ind i dit Hus med Brændofre, jeg vil betale dig mine Løfter,
I will go into your house with burnt offerings: I will pay you my vows,
14 dem, som mine Læber oplode sig med, og min Mund talte, da jeg var i Angest.
Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth has spoken, when I was in trouble.
15 Jeg vil ofre dig Brændoffer af fedt Kvæg og Duften af Vædre; jeg vil tillave Øksne og Bukke. (Sela)
I will offer unto you burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. (Selah)
16 Kommer hid, hører til, alle 1, som frygte Gud, saa vil jeg fortælle, hvad han har gjort ved min Sjæl.
Come and hear, all you that fear God, and I will declare what he has done for my soul.
17 Til ham raabte jeg med min Mund, og hans Pris kom paa min Tunge.
I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.
18 Dersom jeg havde set Uret i mit Hjerte, da vilde Herren ikke have hørt mig.
If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
19 Dog har Gud hørt; han gav Agt paa min Bøns Røst.
But verily God has heard me; he has attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Lovet være Gud, som ikke forskød min Bøn eller vendte sin Miskundhed fra mig!
Blessed be God, which has not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
