< Salme 76 >
1 Til Sangmesteren; med Strengeleg; en Psalme af Asaf, en Sang.
For the chief musician, on stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph, a song. God has made himself known in Judah; his name is great in Israel.
2 Gud er kendt i Juda, hans Navn er stort i Israel,
His tent is in Salem; his dwelling place is in Zion.
3 og hans Paulun var i Salem, og hans Bolig i Zion.
There he broke the arrows of the bow, the shield, the sword, and the other weapons of war. (Selah)
4 Der sønderbrød han Buens Lyn, Skjold og Sværd og Krig. (Sela)
You shine brightly and reveal your glory, as you descend from the mountains, where you killed your victims.
5 Du straaler i Glans og Herlighed fra de paa Bytte rige Bjerge.
The bravehearted were plundered; they fell asleep. All the warriors were helpless.
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 rider and horse fell asleep.
7 For din Trusel, Jakobs Gud! er baade Hest og Vogn falden i den dybe Søvn.
You, yes 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?
From heaven you made your judgment heard; the earth was afraid and silent
9 Du lod høre Dom fra Himmelen; Jorden frygtede og blev stille,
when you, God, arose to execute judgment and 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)
Surely your angry judgment against humanity will bring you praise; you gird yourself with what is left of your anger.
11 Thi et Menneskes Vrede bereder dig Pris; hvad der bliver tilovers af Vreden, omgjorde du dig med.
Make vows to Yahweh your God and keep them. May all who surround him bring gifts 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 cuts off the spirit of the princes; he is feared by the kings of the earth.
