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. Til Jedutun. Af Asaf. En Salme.) Jeg råber, højt til Gud, og han hører mig,
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.
jeg søger Herren på Nødens Dag, min Hånd er om Natten utrættet udrakt, min Sjæl vil ikke lade sig trøste;
3 I remembered God, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul fainted. (Pause)
jeg ihukommer Gud og stønner, jeg sukker, min Ånd vansmægter. (Sela)
4 All mine enemies set a watch [against me]: I was troubled, and spoke not.
Du holder mine Øjne vågne, jeg er urolig og målløs.
5 I considered the days of old, and remembered ancient years.
Jeg tænker på fordums dage, ihukommer længst henrundne År;
6 And I meditated; I communed with my heart by night, and diligently searched my spirit, [saying],
jeg gransker om Natten i Hjertet, grunder og ransager min Ånd.
7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be well pleased no more?
Vil Herren bortstøde for evigt og aldrig mer vise Nåde,
8 Will he cut off his mercy for ever, even for ever and ever?
er hans Miskundhed ude for stedse, hans Trofasthed omme for evigt og altid,
9 Will God forget to pity? or will he shut up his compassions in his wrath? (Pause)
har Gud da glemt at ynkes, lukket sit Hjerte i Vrede? (Sela)
10 And I said, Now I have begun; this is the change of the right hand of the Most High.
Jeg sagde: Det er min Smerte; at den Højestes højre er ikke som før.
11 I remembered the works of the Lord; for I will remember thy wonders from the beginning.
Jeg kommer HERRENs Gerninger i Hu, ja kommer dine fordums Undere i Hu.
12 And I will meditate on all thy works, and will consider thy doings.
Jeg tænker på al din Gerning og grunder over dine Værker.
13 O God, thy way is in the sanctuary; who is a great God as our God?
Gud, din Vej var i Hellighed, hvo er en Gud så stor som Gud!
14 Thou art the God that doest wonders; thou hast made known thy power among the nations.
Du er en Gud, som gør Undere, du gjorde din Vælde kendt blandt Folkene,
15 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Pause)
udøste dit Folk med din Arm, Jakobs og Josefs Sønner. (Sela)
16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee, and feared; and the depths were troubled.
Vandene så dig, Gud, Vandene så dig og vred sig i Angst, ja Dybet tog til at skælve;
17 [There was] an abundant sound of waters: the clouds uttered a voice; for thine arrows went abroad.
Skyerne udøste Vand, Skyhimlens Stemme gjaldede, dine Pile for hid og did;
18 The voice of thy thunder was abroad, and around thy lightnings appeared to the world; the earth trembled a quaked.
din bragende Torden rullede, Lynene oplyste Jorderig, Jorden bæved og skjalv;
19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters, and thy footsteps cannot be known.
din Vej gik midt gennem Havet, din Sti gennem store Vande, dine Fodspor kendtes ikke.
20 Thou didst guide thy people as sheep by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Du førte dit Folk som en Hjord ved Moses's og Arons Hånd.
