< Salme 76 >

1 Til Sangmesteren; med Strengeleg; en Psalme af Asaf, en Sang.
[For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm by Asaph. A song.] In Judah, God is known. His name is great in Israel.
2 Gud er kendt i Juda, hans Navn er stort i Israel,
And his abode is in Salem, and his lair in Zion.
3 og hans Paulun var i Salem, og hans Bolig i Zion.
There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. (Selah)
4 Der sønderbrød han Buens Lyn, Skjold og Sværd og Krig. (Sela)
Glorious are you, and excellent, more than mountains of game.
5 Du straaler i Glans og Herlighed fra de paa Bytte rige Bjerge.
Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.
6 De stolte af Hjerte blive plyndrede, de slumre deres Søvn; og ingen af Stridsmændene fandt Magt i deres Hænder.
At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep.
7 For din Trusel, Jakobs Gud! er baade Hest og Vogn falden i den dybe Søvn.
You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?
8 Du, ja, du er forfærdelig, og hvo kan bestaa for dit Ansigt, saa snart som du bliver vred?
You pronounced judgment from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent,
9 Du lod høre Dom fra Himmelen; Jorden frygtede og blev stille,
when God arose to judgment, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. (Selah)
10 da Gud gjorde sig rede til Dom, til at frelse alle de sagtmodige paa Jorden. (Sela)
Surely the wrath of man praises you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.
11 Thi et Menneskes Vrede bereder dig Pris; hvad der bliver tilovers af Vreden, omgjorde du dig med.
Make vows to the LORD your God, and fulfill them. Let all of his neighbors bring presents 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 humbles the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.
