< Salme 76 >
1 Til Sangmesteren; med Strengeleg; en Psalme af Asaf, en Sang.
For the music director. To be accompanied by stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song. God is famous in Judah; his reputation is great throughout Israel.
2 Gud er kendt i Juda, hans Navn er stort i Israel,
He lives in Jerusalem; his home is in Zion.
3 og hans Paulun var i Salem, og hans Bolig i Zion.
There he broke the flaming arrows, the shields, the swords, and the weapons of war. (Selah)
4 Der sønderbrød han Buens Lyn, Skjold og Sværd og Krig. (Sela)
You shine with light; you are more majestic than the everlasting mountains.
5 Du straaler i Glans og Herlighed fra de paa Bytte rige Bjerge.
Our most courageous enemies have been plundered. They sleep the sleep of death. Even the strongest of them could not raise a hand against us.
6 De stolte af Hjerte blive plyndrede, de slumre deres Søvn; og ingen af Stridsmændene fandt Magt i deres Hænder.
At your command, God of Jacob, both horse and rider fell down dead.
7 For din Trusel, Jakobs Gud! er baade Hest og Vogn falden i den dybe Søvn.
You are terrifying—who can stand before you when you are angry?
8 Du, ja, du er forfærdelig, og hvo kan bestaa for dit Ansigt, saa snart som du bliver vred?
From heaven you announced judgment. Everyone on earth was afraid and stood still,
9 Du lod høre Dom fra Himmelen; Jorden frygtede og blev stille,
when you stood up to judge, to save the oppressed people of the earth. (Selah)
10 da Gud gjorde sig rede til Dom, til at frelse alle de sagtmodige paa Jorden. (Sela)
Even human anger against you makes you look glorious, for you wear it alike a crown.
11 Thi et Menneskes Vrede bereder dig Pris; hvad der bliver tilovers af Vreden, omgjorde du dig med.
Make your promises to God and be sure to keep them. Everyone bring gifts to the awe-inspiring one.
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.
For he humbles proud leaders; he terrifies the kings of the earth.
