Psalms 77
1 For the end, for Idithun, a Psalm of Asaph. I cried to the Lord with my voice, yea, my voice [was addressed] to God; and he gave heed to me.
Til Sangmesteren; for Jeduthun; en Psalme af Asaf.
2 In the day of mine affliction I earnestly sought the Lord; [even] with my hands by night before him, and I was not deceived; my soul refused to be comforted.
Min Røst er til Gud, og jeg vil raabe; min Røst er til Gud, og han vende sine Øren til mig!
3 I remembered God, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul fainted. (Pause)
Jeg søgte Herren paa min Nøds Dag; min Haand var om Natten udrakt og lod ikke af; min Sjæl vægrede sig ved at lade sig trøste.
4 All mine enemies set a watch [against me]: I was troubled, and spoke not.
Jeg vil komme Gud i Hu og jamre lydt; jeg vil tale, og min Aand maa forsmægte. (Sela)
5 I considered the days of old, and remembered ancient years.
Du holdt mine Øjne vaagne, jeg er bleven bekymret og taler ikke.
6 And I meditated; I communed with my heart by night, and diligently searched my spirit, [saying],
Jeg tænkte paa de fordums Dage, paa de længst henrundne Aar.
7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be well pleased no more?
Jeg vil komme min Strengeleg i Hu om Natten; jeg vil tale i mit Hjerte, og min Aand skal granske.
8 Will he cut off his mercy for ever, even for ever and ever?
Vil da Herren forkaste i al Evighed og ikke vedblive at være naadig mere?
9 Will God forget to pity? or will he shut up his compassions in his wrath? (Pause)
Er hans Miskundhed ude evindelig? har hans Tilsagn faaet Ende fra Slægt til Slægt?
10 And I said, Now I have begun; this is the change of the right hand of the Most High.
Har Gud glemt at være naadig? eller har han i Vrede tillukket sin Barmhjertighed? (Sela)
11 I remembered the works of the Lord; for I will remember thy wonders from the beginning.
Da sagde jeg: Dette er min Lidelse; at forandre det staar i den Højestes højre Haand.
12 And I will meditate on all thy works, and will consider thy doings.
Jeg vil komme Herrens Gerninger i Hu; jeg vil komme dine underfulde Ting fra fordums Tid i Hu.
13 O God, thy way is in the sanctuary; who is a great God as our God?
Og jeg vil grunde paa al din Gerning; og jeg vil tale om dine Idrætter.
14 Thou art the God that doest wonders; thou hast made known thy power among the nations.
O Gud! din Vej er i Hellighed; hvo er en Gud stor som Gud?
15 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Pause)
Du er den Gud, som gør underfulde Ting, du har kundgjort din Styrke iblandt Folkene.
16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee, and feared; and the depths were troubled.
Du genløste dit Folk ved din Arm, Jakobs og Josefs Børn. (Sela)
17 [There was] an abundant sound of waters: the clouds uttered a voice; for thine arrows went abroad.
Vandene saa dig, Gud! Vandene saa dig, de bleve bange, ja, Afgrundene bævede.
18 The voice of thy thunder was abroad, and around thy lightnings appeared to the world; the earth trembled a quaked.
De tykke Skyer udøste Vand, de øverste Skyer udgave Drøn, ja, dine Pile fore frem.
19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters, and thy footsteps cannot be known.
Din Tordens Drøn rullede, Lynet oplyste Jorderige; Jorden bævede og skælvede.
20 Thou didst guide thy people as sheep by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Din Vej var i Havet og dine Stier i de store Vande, og dine Fodspor bleve ikke kendte. Du førte dit Folk som Hjorden ved Mose og Arons Haand.
