Salme 76

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

For the leader. With instrumental music. 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 in Zion.

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

There he broke the lightning arrows, shield, sword, and weapons of war. (Selah)

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

Terrible is your splendor on the everlasting mountains.

5 Frygtelig var du, herlig paa de evige Bjerge.

Despoiled were the stout of heart; in the sleep into which they had fallen, none of the warriors could lift a hand.

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

At your rebuke, God of Jacob, sank chariot and horse to sleep.

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

Awful are you: who can stand before you, when once you are angry?

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

The judgment you gave from heaven frightened the earth into silence,

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

when God arose to judgment to save the oppressed of the earth. (Selah)

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

The fiercest will praise you, to you will the remnant hold festival.

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

Vow and pay to Lord your God, and let all who are round him bring presents.

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 lops off the courage of princes, and with terror fills kings of the earth.
