Psalms 66
1 For the choirmaster. A song. A Psalm. Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth!
Til Sangmesteren; en Psalmesang. Raaber med Glæde for Gud al Jorden!
2 Sing the glory of His name; make His praise glorious.
Synger Psalmer til hans Navns Ære; giver ham Ære til hans Pris.
3 Say to God, “How awesome are Your deeds! So great is Your power that Your enemies cower before You.
Siger til Gud: Hvor forfærdelige ere dine Gerninger! for din store Magts Skyld skulle dine Fjender smigre for dig.
4 All the earth bows down to You; they sing praise to You; they sing praise to Your name.”
Al Jorden skal tilbede dig og lovsynge dig; de skulle lovsynge dit Navn. (Sela)
5 Come and see the works of God; how awesome are His deeds toward mankind.
Gaar hen og ser Guds Værk; han er forfærdelig i Gerning imod Menneskens Børn.
6 He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the waters on foot; there we rejoiced in Him.
Han omvendte Havet til det tørre, de gik til Fods over Floden; der glædede vi os i ham.
7 He rules forever by His power; His eyes watch the nations. Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves.
Han hersker med sin Magt evindelig, hans Øjne vare paa Hedningerne; de genstridige ophøje sig ikke. (Sela)
8 Bless our God, O peoples; let the sound of His praise be heard.
I Folkefærd! lover vor Gud og lader Røsten høres til hans Pris!
9 He preserves our lives and keeps our feet from slipping.
Han holder vor Sjæl i Live og lader ikke vor Fod snuble.
10 For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us like silver.
Thi du har prøvet os, o Gud! du har lutret os, ligesom Sølv bliver lutret.
11 You led us into the net; You laid burdens on our backs.
Du har ført os i Garnet, du lagde et Tryk paa vore Lænder.
12 You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but You brought us into abundance.
Du lod Mennesker fare over vort Hoved; vi ere komne i Ild og i Vand, men du udførte os til at vederkvæges.
13 I will enter Your house with burnt offerings; I will fulfill my vows to You—
Jeg vil gaa ind i dit Hus med Brændofre, jeg vil betale dig mine Løfter,
14 the vows that my lips promised and my mouth spoke in my distress.
dem, som mine Læber oplode sig med, og min Mund talte, da jeg var i Angest.
15 I will offer You fatlings as burnt offerings, with the fragrant smoke of rams; I will offer bulls and goats.
Jeg vil ofre dig Brændoffer af fedt Kvæg og Duften af Vædre; jeg vil tillave Øksne og Bukke. (Sela)
16 Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will declare what He has done for me.
Kommer hid, hører til, alle 1, som frygte Gud, saa vil jeg fortælle, hvad han har gjort ved min Sjæl.
17 I cried out to Him with my mouth and praised Him with my tongue.
Til ham raabte jeg med min Mund, og hans Pris kom paa min Tunge.
18 If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.
Dersom jeg havde set Uret i mit Hjerte, da vilde Herren ikke have hørt mig.
19 But God has surely heard; He has attended to the sound of my prayer.
Dog har Gud hørt; han gav Agt paa min Bøns Røst.
20 Blessed be God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld from me His loving devotion!
Lovet være Gud, som ikke forskød min Bøn eller vendte sin Miskundhed fra mig!
