< Salme 76 >

1 Til Sangmesteren; med Strengeleg; en Psalme af Asaf, en Sang.
Unto the end, in praises, a psalm for Asaph: a canticle to the Assyrians. In Judea God is known: his name is great in Israel.
2 Gud er kendt i Juda, hans Navn er stort i Israel,
And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:
3 og hans Paulun var i Salem, og hans Bolig i Zion.
There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battie.
4 Der sønderbrød han Buens Lyn, Skjold og Sværd og Krig. (Sela)
Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.
5 Du straaler i Glans og Herlighed fra de paa Bytte rige Bjerge.
All the foolish of heart were troubled. They have slept their sleep; and all the men of riches 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, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.
7 For din Trusel, Jakobs Gud! er baade Hest og Vogn falden i den dybe Søvn.
Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.
8 Du, ja, du er forfærdelig, og hvo kan bestaa for dit Ansigt, saa snart som du bliver vred?
Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,
9 Du lod høre Dom fra Himmelen; Jorden frygtede og blev stille,
When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.
10 da Gud gjorde sig rede til Dom, til at frelse alle de sagtmodige paa Jorden. (Sela)
For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.
11 Thi et Menneskes Vrede bereder dig Pris; hvad der bliver tilovers af Vreden, omgjorde du dig med.
Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. 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.
Even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with the kings of the earth.
