Psalms 76

1 Unto the end. With Praises. A Psalm of Asaph. A Canticle to the Assyrians. In Judea, God is known. In Israel, his name is great.

Til Sangmesteren. Med Strengespil. En Salme af Asaf. En Sang.

2 And his place has been formed with peace. And his dwelling place is in Zion.

Gud er kendt i Juda, hans Navn er stort i Israel,

3 In that place, he has broken the powers of the bows, the shield, the sword, and the battle.

i Salem er hans Hytte, hans Bolig er paa Zion.

4 You illuminate wondrously from the mountains of eternity.

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

5 All the foolish of heart have been disturbed. They have slept their sleep, and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.

Frygtelig var du, herlig paa de evige Bjerge.

6 At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, those who were mounted on horseback have fallen asleep.

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

7 You are terrible, and so, who can withstand you? From thence is your wrath.

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

8 You have caused judgment to be heard from heaven. The earth trembled and was quieted,

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

9 when God rose up in judgment in order to bring salvation to all the meek of the earth.

Fra Himlen fældte du Dom, Jorden grued og tav,

10 For the thinking of man will confess to you, and the legacy of his thinking will keep a feast day to you.

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

11 Make vows and pay them to the Lord, your God. All you who surround him bring gifts: to him who is terrible,

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

12 even to him who takes away the spirit of leaders, to him who is terrible with the kings of the earth.

Aflæg Løfter og indfri dem for HERREN eders Gud, alle omkring ham skal bringe den Frygtindgydende Gaver. Han kuer Fyrsternes Mod, indgyder Jordens Konger Frygt.
