< Salme 76 >
1 Til Sangmesteren; med Strengeleg; en Psalme af Asaf, en Sang.
To the Chief Musician. With Stringed Instruments. A Melody of Asaph, a Song. God is, known in Judah, In Israel, great is his Name;
2 Gud er kendt i Juda, hans Navn er stort i Israel,
Now hath come into Salem, his pavilion, And his dwelling-place into Zion.
3 og hans Paulun var i Salem, og hans Bolig i Zion.
There, hath he broken in pieces the arrows of the bow, shield and sword, and battle. (Selah)
4 Der sønderbrød han Buens Lyn, Skjold og Sværd og Krig. (Sela)
Enveloped in light, thou, art more majestic than the mountains of prey.
5 Du straaler i Glans og Herlighed fra de paa Bytte rige Bjerge.
The valiant of heart have become a spoil, They have slumbered their sleep, And none of the men of might have found 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, Stunned are the horsemen.
7 For din Trusel, Jakobs Gud! er baade Hest og Vogn falden i den dybe Søvn.
As for thee, to be feared thou art! Who then shall stand before thee, because of the power of thine anger?
8 Du, ja, du er forfærdelig, og hvo kan bestaa for dit Ansigt, saa snart som du bliver vred?
Out of the heavens, didst thou cause judgment to be heard, Earth, feared and was still:
9 Du lod høre Dom fra Himmelen; Jorden frygtede og blev stille,
When God rose up to judgment, To save all the oppressed of the earth. (Selah)
10 da Gud gjorde sig rede til Dom, til at frelse alle de sagtmodige paa Jorden. (Sela)
For the multitude of mankind shall give thanks unto thee, The remainder of the multitude, shall keep holy festival unto thee.
11 Thi et Menneskes Vrede bereder dig Pris; hvad der bliver tilovers af Vreden, omgjorde du dig med.
Vow and pay, unto Yahweh your God, —Let, all who are round about him, bear along a gift unto him who is to be revered.
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 cutteth off the spirit of nobles, he is of reverend majesty to the kings of the earth.
