Salme 76

1 (Til Sangmesteren. Med Strengespil. En Salme af Asaf. En Sang.) Gud er kendt i Juda, hans navn er stort i Israel,

To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme or song committed to Asaph. God is knowen in Iudah: his Name is great in Israel.

2 i Salem er hans Hytte, hans Bolig er på Zion.

For in Shalem is his Tabernacle, and his dwelling in Zion.

3 Der brød han Buens Lyn, skjold og Sværd og Krigsværn. (Sela)

There brake he the arrowes of the bowe, the shielde and the sword and the battell. (Selah)

4 Frygtelig var du, herlig på de evige Bjerge.

Thou art more bright and puissant, then the mountaines of pray.

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

The stout hearted are spoyled: they haue slept their sleepe, and all the men of strength haue not found their hands.

6 Jakobs Gud, da du truede, faldt Vogn og Hest i den dybe Søvn.

At thy rebuke, O God of Iaakob, both the chariot and horse are cast a sleepe.

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

Thou, euen thou art to be feared: and who shall stand in thy sight, when thou art angrie!

8 Fra Himlen fældte du Dom. Jorden grued og tav,

Thou didest cause thy iudgement to bee heard from heauen: therefore the earth feared and was still,

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

When thou, O God, arose to iudgement, to helpe all the meeke of the earth. (Selah)

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

Surely the rage of man shall turne to thy praise: the remnant of the rage shalt thou restrayne.

11 Aflæg Løfter og indfri dem for HERREN eders Gud, alle omkring ham skal bringe den Frygtindgydende Gaver.

Vowe and performe vnto the Lord your God, all ye that be rounde about him: let them bring presents vnto him that ought to be feared.

12 Han kuer Fyrsternes Mod, indgyder Jordens Konger Frygt.

He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the Kings of the earth.
