< Salme 76 >
1 Til Sangmesteren; med Strengeleg; en Psalme af Asaf, en Sang.
For the end, among the Hymns, a Psalm for Asaph; a Song for the Assyrian. God is known in Judea: his name is great in Israel.
2 Gud er kendt i Juda, hans Navn er stort i Israel,
And his place has been in peace, and his dwelling-place in Sion.
3 og hans Paulun var i Salem, og hans Bolig i Zion.
There he broke the power of the bows, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Pause)
4 Der sønderbrød han Buens Lyn, Skjold og Sværd og Krig. (Sela)
Thou dost wonderfully shine forth from the everlasting mountains.
5 Du straaler i Glans og Herlighed fra de paa Bytte rige Bjerge.
All the simple ones in heart were troubled; all the men of wealth have slept their sleep, and have found nothing in their hands.
6 De stolte af Hjerte blive plyndrede, de slumre deres Søvn; og ingen af Stridsmændene fandt Magt i deres Hænder.
At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, the riders on horses slumbered.
7 For din Trusel, Jakobs Gud! er baade Hest og Vogn falden i den dybe Søvn.
Thou art terrible; and who shall withstand thee, because of thine anger?
8 Du, ja, du er forfærdelig, og hvo kan bestaa for dit Ansigt, saa snart som du bliver vred?
Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
9 Du lod høre Dom fra Himmelen; Jorden frygtede og blev stille,
when God arose to judgment, to save all the meek in heart. (Pause)
10 da Gud gjorde sig rede til Dom, til at frelse alle de sagtmodige paa Jorden. (Sela)
For the inward thought of man shall give thanks to thee: and the memorial of his inward thought shall keep a feast to thee.
11 Thi et Menneskes Vrede bereder dig Pris; hvad der bliver tilovers af Vreden, omgjorde du dig med.
Vow, and pay [your vows] to the Lord our God; all that are round about him shall bring gifts, [even] to him that is terrible,
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.
and that takes away the spirits of princes; to him that is terrible among the kings of the earth.
