Salme 66
1 Til Sangmesteren. En Sang. En Salme. Bryd ud i Jubel for Gud, al Jorden,
To the chief Musician, A Song [or] Psalm. Make a joyful noise to God, all ye lands:
2 lovsyng hans Navns Ære, syng ham en herlig Lovsang,
Sing forth the honor of his name: make his praise glorious.
3 sig til Gud: »Hvor forfærdelige er dine Gerninger! For din vældige Styrkes Skyld logrer Fjenderne for dig,
Say to God, How terrible [art thou in] thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thy enemies submit themselves to thee.
4 al Jorden tilbeder dig, de lovsynger dig, lovsynger dit Navn.« (Sela)
All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing to thee; they shall sing [to] thy name. (Selah)
5 Kom hid og se, hvad Gud har gjort, i sit Virke en Rædsel for Menneskenes Børn.
Come and see the works of God: [he is] terrible [in his] doing towards the children of men.
6 Han forvandlede Hav til Land, de vandred til Fods over Strømmen; lad os fryde os højlig i ham.
He turned the sea into dry [land]: they went through the flood on foot: there we rejoiced in him.
7 Han hersker med Vælde for evigt, paa Folkene vogter hans Øjne, ej kan genstridige gøre sig store. (Sela)
He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. (Selah)
8 I Folkeslag, lov vor Gud, lad lyde hans Lovsangs Toner,
O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:
9 han, som har holdt vor Sjæl i Live og ej lod vor Fod glide ud!
Who holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.
10 Thi du ransaged os, o Gud, rensede os, som man renser Sølv;
For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
11 i Fængsel bragte du os, lagde Tynge paa vore Lænder,
Thou hast brought us into the net; thou hast laid affliction upon our loins.
12 lod Mennesker skride hen over vort Hoved, vi kom gennem Ild og Vand; men du førte os ud og bragte os Lindring!
Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy [place].
13 Med Brændofre vil jeg gaa ind i dit Hus og indfri dig mine Løfter,
I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings: I will pay thee my vows,
14 dem, mine Læber fremførte, min Mund udtalte i Nøden.
Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.
15 Jeg bringer dig Ofre af Fedekvæg sammen med Vædres Offerduft, jeg ofrer Okser tillige med Bukke. (Sela)
I will offer to thee burnt-sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. (Selah)
16 Kom og hør og lad mig fortælle jer alle, som frygter Gud, hvad han har gjort for min Sjæl!
Come [and] hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
17 Jeg raabte til ham med min Mund og priste ham med min Tunge.
I cried to him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.
18 Havde jeg tænkt paa ondt i mit Hjerte, da havde Herren ej hørt;
If I regard iniquity in my heart, the LORD will not hear [me]:
19 visselig, Gud har hørt, han lytted til min bedende Røst.
[But] verily God hath heard [me]; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Lovet være Gud, som ikke har afvist min Bøn eller taget sin Miskundhed fra mig!
Blessed [be] God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
