Salme 76

1 Til Sangmesteren; med Strengeleg; en Psalme af Asaf, en Sang.

To the chief music-maker; put to Neginoth. A Psalm. Of Asaph. A Song. In Judah is the knowledge of God; his name is great in Israel,

2 Gud er kendt i Juda, hans Navn er stort i Israel,

In Salem is his tent, his resting-place in Zion.

3 og hans Paulun var i Salem, og hans Bolig i Zion.

There were the arrows of the bow broken, there he put an end to body-cover, sword, and fight. (Selah)

4 Der sønderbrød han Buens Lyn, Skjold og Sværd og Krig. (Sela)

You are shining and full of glory, more than the eternal mountains.

5 Du straaler i Glans og Herlighed fra de paa Bytte rige Bjerge.

Gone is the wealth of the strong, their last sleep has overcome them; the men of war have become feeble.

6 De stolte af Hjerte blive plyndrede, de slumre deres Søvn; og ingen af Stridsmændene fandt Magt i deres Hænder.

At the voice of your wrath, O God of Jacob, deep sleep has overcome carriage and horse.

7 For din Trusel, Jakobs Gud! er baade Hest og Vogn falden i den dybe Søvn.

You, you are to be feared; who may keep his place before you in the time of your wrath?

8 Du, ja, du er forfærdelig, og hvo kan bestaa for dit Ansigt, saa snart som du bliver vred?

From heaven you gave your decision; the earth, in its fear, gave no sound,

9 Du lod høre Dom fra Himmelen; Jorden frygtede og blev stille,

When God took his place as judge, for the salvation of the poor on the earth. (Selah)

10 da Gud gjorde sig rede til Dom, til at frelse alle de sagtmodige paa Jorden. (Sela)

The ... will give you praise; the rest of ...

11 Thi et Menneskes Vrede bereder dig Pris; hvad der bliver tilovers af Vreden, omgjorde du dig med.

Give to the Lord your God what is his by right; let all who are round him give offerings to him who is to be feared.

12 Gører Løfte og betaler Herren, eders Gud det; alle I, som ere omkring ham, skulle bringe ham, den forfærdelige, Gave. Han borttager Fyrsternes Mod, han er forfærdelig for Kongerne paa Jorden.

He puts an end to the wrath of rulers; he is feared by the kings of the earth.
