Psalms 68
1 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered. Let also those who hate him flee before him.
(Til sangmesteren. Af David. En salme. En sang.) Når Gud står op, da splittes hans fjender, hans Avindsmænd flyr for hans Åsyn,
2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
som Røg henvejres, så henvejres de; som Voks, der smelter for Ild, går gudløse til Grunde for Guds Åsyn.
3 But let the righteous be glad. Let them exult before God. Yea, let them rejoice with gladness.
Men retfærdige frydes og jubler med Glæde og Fryd for Guds Åsyn.
4 Sing to God, sing praises to his name. Cast up a highway for him who rides through the deserts. His name is Jehovah, and exult ye before him.
Syng for Gud, lovsyng hans Navn, hyld ham, der farer frem gennem Ørknerne! HERREN er hans Navn, jubler for hans Åsyn,
5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
faderløses Fader, Enkers Værge, Gud i hans hellige Bolig,
6 God sets the lonely in families. He brings out the prisoners into prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.
Gud, som bringer ensomme hjem, fører Fanger ud til Lykke; men genstridige bor i tørre Egne.
7 O God, when thou went forth before thy people, when thou marched through the wilderness (Selah)
Da du drog ud, o Gud, i Spidsen for dit Folk, skred frem gennem Ørkenen (Sela) da rystede Jorden,
8 the earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God, Sinai at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
ja, Himlen dryppede for Guds Åsyn, for Guds Åsyn, Israels Guds.
9 Thou, O God, sent a plentiful rain. Thou confirmed thine inheritance when it was weary.
Regn i Strømme lod du falde, o Gud, din vansmægtende Arvelod styrkede du;
10 Thy congregation dwelt in it. Thou, O God, prepared for the poor from thy goodness.
din Skare tog Bolig der, for de arme sørged du, Gud, i din Godhed,
11 The Lord gave the word. Great was the company of those who published it.
Ord lægger Herren de Kvinder i Munden, som bringer Glædesbud, en talrig Hær:
12 Kings of armies fled quickly, and she who remained at home divided the spoil.
"Hærenes Konger flyr, de flyr, Husets Frue uddeler Bytte.
13 Though ye lie between two boundaries, it is as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her pinions with yellow gold.
Vil l da blive imellem Foldene? Duens Vinger dækkes af Sølv, dens Fjedre af gulgrønt Guld.
14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was as it snows in Zalmon.
Da den Almægtige splittede Kongerne der, faldt der Sne på Zalmon."
15 A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; a high mountain is the mountain of Bashan.
Et Gudsbjerg er Basans Bjerg, et Bjerg med spidse Tinder er Basans Bjerg;
16 Why look ye askance, ye high mountains, at the mountain which God has desired for his abode? Yea, Jehovah will dwell in it forever.
Hvi skæver I Bjerge med spidse Tinder til Bjerget, Gud ønskede til Bolig, hvor HERREN også vil bo for evigt?
17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands. The Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the sanctuary.
Titusinder er Guds Vogne, tusinde Gange tusinde, HERREN kom fra Sinaj til Helligdommen.
18 Thou have ascended on high. Thou have led captivity captive. Thou have received gifts among men, yea, among the rebellious also, that Jehovah God might dwell with them.
Du steg op til det høje, du bortførte Fanger, Gaver tog du blandt Mennesker, også iblandt de genstridige, at du måtte bo der, HERRE, o Gud.
19 Blessed be the Lord, who bears our burden daily, even the God who is our salvation. (Selah)
Lovet være Herren! Fra Dag til Dag bærer han vore Byrder; Gud er vor Frelse. (Sela)
20 God is to us a God of deliverances, and escape from death belongs to Jehovah the Lord.
En Gud til Frelse er Gud for os, hos den Herre HERREN er Udgange fra Døden.
21 But God will smite through the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of him who still goes in his guiltiness.
Men Fjendernes Hoveder knuser Gud, den gudløses Isse, der vandrer i sine Synder.
22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan. I will bring again from the depths of the sea,
Herren har sagt: "Jeg henter dem hjem fra Basan, henter dem hjem fra Havets Dyb,
23 that thou may dash thy foot in blood, that the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from enemies.
at din Fod må vade i Blod, dine Hundes Tunger få del i Fjenderne."
24 They have seen thy goings, O God, even the goings of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
Se på Guds Højtidstog, min Guds, min Konges Højtidstog ind i Helligdommen!
25 The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, in the midst of the damsels playing with timbrels.
Sangerne forrest, så de, der spiller, i Midten unge Piger med Pauker:
26 Bless ye God in the congregations, the lord of the fountain of Israel.
"Lover Gud i Festforsamlinger, Herren, I af Israels Kilde!"
27 There is little Benjamin their ruler, the rulers of Judah and their council, the rulers of Zebulun, the rulers of Naphtali.
Der er liden Benjamin forrest, Judas Fyrster i Flok, Zebulons Fyrster, Naftalis Fyrster.
28 Thy God has commanded thy strength. Strengthen, O God, that which thou have wrought for us.
Opbyd, o Gud, din Styrke, styrk, hvad du gjorde for os, o Gud!
29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem kings shall bring presents to thee.
For dit Tempels Skyld skal Konger bringe dig Gaver i Jerusalem.
30 Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples, trampling under foot the pieces of silver. He has scattered the peoples that delight in war.
Tru ad Dyret i Sivet, Tyreflokken, Folkeslags Herrer, så de hylder dig med deres Sølvstykker. Adsplit Folkeslag, der elsker Strid!
31 Rulers shall come out of Egypt. Ethiopia shall hasten to stretch out her hands to God.
De kommer med Olie fra Ægypten, Ætiopeme iler til Gud med fulde Hænder.
32 Sing to God, ye kingdoms of the earth. O sing praises to the Lord (Selah)
I Jordens Riger, syng for Gud, lovsyng HERREN;
33 to him who rides upon the heaven of heavens, which are of old. Lo, he utters his voice, a mighty voice.
hyld ham der farer frem på Himlenes Himle, de gamle! Se, han løfter sin Røst, en vældig Røst.
34 Ascribe ye strength to God. His excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the skies.
Giv Gud Ære! Over Israel er hans Højhed, Hans Vælde i Skyerne,
35 O God, awesome out of thy holy places, the God of Israel, he gives strength and power to his people. Blessed be God.
frygtelig er Gud i sin Helligdom. Israels Gud; han giver Folket Styrke og Kraft. Lovet være Gud!
