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

[For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm by Asaph. A song.] In Judah, God is known. His name is great in Israel.

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

And his abode is in Salem, and his lair in Zion.

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

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

4 Frygtelig var du, herlig på de evige Bjerge.

Glorious are you, and excellent, more than mountains of game.

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

Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.

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

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

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

You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?

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

You pronounced judgment from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent,

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

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

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

Surely the wrath of man praises you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.

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

Make vows to the LORD your God, and fulfill them. Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.

12 Han kuer Fyrsternes Mod, indgyder Jordens Konger Frygt.

He humbles the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.
