Salme 68
1 Til Sangmesteren, af David; en Psalme, en Sang.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David, a Song. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered; let them also that hate him flee before him.
2 Gud staar op, hans Fjender adspredes, og de, som hade ham, fly for hans Ansigt.
As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 Som Røg driver bort, vil du bortdrive dem; som Voks smelter for Ild, skulle de ugudelige omkomme for Guds Ansigt.
But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God: yea, let them rejoice with gladness.
4 Men de retfærdige skulle glædes, de skulle fryde sig for Guds Ansigt og juble med Glæde.
Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: cast up a highway for him that rideth through the deserts; his name is JAH; and exult ye before him.
5 Synger for Gud, lovsynger hans Navn, baner Vej for ham, som farer frem igennem Ørkenen; Herren er hans Navn, og fryder eder for hans Ansigt.
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
6 Faderløses Fader og Enkers Dommer er Gud i sin hellige Bolig.
God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out the prisoners into prosperity: but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.
7 Gud lader de enlige bo i Huse, han udfører de bundne i Frihed; kun de genstridige bo i det fortørrede Land.
O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; (Selah)
8 Gud! da du drog ud foran dit Folk, da du skred frem gennem Ørkenen (Sela)
The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: [even] yon Sinai [trembled] at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9 Da bævede Jorden, og Himlene dryppede for Guds Ansigt, hint Sinaj! for Guds, Israels Guds Ansigt.
Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
10 En Regn af Gaver lod du strømme ned, o Gud! din Arv, som var træt, styrkede du.
Thy congregation dwelt therein: thou, O God, didst prepare of thy goodness for the poor.
11 Din Hjord bosatte sig i Landet; du beredte det, Gud! for den elendige ved din Godhed.
The Lord giveth the word: the women that publish the tidings are a great host.
12 Herren lader. Ordet udgaa; de Kvinder, som bringe glad Budskab, ere en stor Hær.
Kings of armies flee, they flee: and she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.
13 Hærskarernes Konger fly, de fly; og hun, som bor i Huset, uddeler Bytte.
Will ye lie among the sheepfolds, [as] the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her pinions with yellow gold?
14 Naar I ligge mellem Foldene, er det som en Dues Vinger, skjulte med Sølv, og hvis Vingefjedre ere indsprængte med Guldets gyldengrønne Glans.
When the Almighty scattered kings therein, [it was as when] it snoweth in Zalmon.
15 Naar den Almægtige spreder Konger derudi, da falder der Sne paa Zalmon.
A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; an high mountain is the mountain of Bashan.
16 Et Guds Bjerg er Basans Bjerg, et Bjerg med mange Tinder er Basans Bjerg.
Why look ye askance, ye high mountains, at the mountain which God hath desired for his abode? yea, the LORD will dwell [in it] for ever.
17 Hvorfor se I Bjerge med de mange Tinder med Avind til det Bjerg, som Gud havde Lyst at bo paa? ja, Herren vil bo derpaa evindelig.
The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands: the Lord is among them, [as in] Sinai, in the sanctuary.
18 Guds Vogne ere to Gange ti Tusinde, tusinde Gange tusinde; Herren er iblandt dem som paa Sinaj i Hellighed.
Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led [thy] captivity captive; thou hast received gifts among men, yea, [among] the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell [with them].
19 Du opfor i Højheden, du bortførte Fanger, du annammede Gaver iblandt Mennesker, ja, endog iblandt de genstridige, at du maa blive boende, o Herre, o Gud!
Blessed be the Lord, who daily beareth our burden, even the God who is our salvation. (Selah)
20 Lovet være Herren fra Dag til Dag! lægger han os en Byrde paa, saa er Gud dog vor Frelse. (Sela)

The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring [them] again from the depths of the sea:
23 Herren sagde: Jeg vil føre dem tilbage fra Basan, jeg vil føre dem tilbage fra Havets Dybheder,
That thou mayest dip thy foot in blood, that the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from [thine] enemies.
24 paa det din Fod maa vade i Blod, og dine Hundes Tunge faa sin Del af Fjenderne.
They have seen thy goings, O God, even the goings of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
25 Gud! de saa dine Tog, min Guds, min Konges Tog i Hellighed.
The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, in the midst of the damsels playing with timbrels.

Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; (Selah)
33 I Riger paa Jorden! synger for Gud, lovsynger Herren (Sela)
To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which are of old; lo, he uttereth his voice, [and that] a mighty voice.
34 ham, som farer i Himlenes Himle, som ere fra fordums Tid, se, han udgiver sin Røst, den mægtige Røst.
Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the skies.
