Salme 76

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

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A song. God is 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 in Zion.

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

There He shattered the flaming arrows, the shield and sword and weapons of war.

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

You are resplendent with light, more majestic than mountains filled with game.

5 Frygtelig var du, herlig paa de evige Bjerge.

The valiant lie plundered; they sleep their last sleep. No men of might could lift a hand.

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

At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both horse and rider lie stunned.

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

You alone are to be feared. When You are angry, who can stand before You?

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

From heaven You pronounced judgment, and the earth feared and was still

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

when God rose up to judge, to save all the lowly of the earth.

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

Even the wrath of man shall praise You; with the survivors of wrath You will clothe Yourself.

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

Make and fulfill your vows to the LORD your God; let all the neighboring lands bring tribute to Him who is 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 breaks the spirits of princes; He is feared by the kings of the earth.
