Salme 76

1 Til Sangmesteren. Med Strengespil. En Salme af Asaf. En Sang.

In Judah God is known. His name is great in Israel.

2 Gud er kendt i Juda, hans Navn er stort i Israel,

In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling-place in Zion.

3 i Salem er hans Hytte, hans Bolig er paa Zion.

There he broke the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Selah)

4 Der brød han Buens Lyn, Skjold og Sværd og Krigsværn. (Sela)

Thou are more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.

5 Frygtelig var du, herlig paa de evige Bjerge.

The stouthearted are made a spoil. They have slept their sleep, and none of the men of might have found their hands.

6 De tapre gjordes til Bytte, i Dvale sank de, og Kraften svigted alle de stærke Kæmper.

At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep.

7 Jakobs Gud, da du trued, faldt Vogn og Hest i den dybe Søvn.

Thou, even thou, are to be feared. And who may stand in thy sight when once thou are angry?

8 Frygtelig er du! Hvo holder Stand mod dig i din Vredes Vælde?

Thou caused sentence to be heard from heaven. The earth feared and was still

9 Fra Himlen fældte du Dom, Jorden grued og tav,

when God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. (Selah)

10 da Gud stod op til Dom for at frelse hver ydmyg paa Jord. (Sela)

Surely the inward thought of man shall praise thee, even the residue of inward thought will observe a festival to thee.

11 Thi Folkestammer skal takke dig, de sidste af Stammerne fejre dig.

Vow, and pay to Jehovah your God. Let all who are round about him bring presents to him who ought to be feared.

12 Aflæg Løfter og indfri dem for HERREN eders Gud, alle omkring ham skal bringe den Frygtindgydende Gaver. Han kuer Fyrsternes Mod, indgyder Jordens Konger Frygt.

He will cut off the spirit of rulers. He is fearful to the kings of the earth.
