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.
Al maestro del coro. Su strumenti a corda con cetre. Salmo. Di Asaf. Canto. Dio è conosciuto in Giuda, in Israele è grande il suo nome.
2 And his place has been formed with peace. And his dwelling place is in Zion.
E' in Gerusalemme la sua dimora, la sua abitazione, in Sion.
3 In that place, he has broken the powers of the bows, the shield, the sword, and the battle.
Qui spezzò le saette dell'arco, lo scudo, la spada, la guerra.
4 You illuminate wondrously from the mountains of eternity.
Splendido tu sei, o Potente, sui monti della preda;
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.
furono spogliati i valorosi, furono colti dal sonno, nessun prode ritrovava la sua mano.
6 At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, those who were mounted on horseback have fallen asleep.
Dio di Giacobbe, alla tua minaccia, si arrestarono carri e cavalli.
7 You are terrible, and so, who can withstand you? From thence is your wrath.
Tu sei terribile; chi ti resiste quando si scatena la tua ira?
8 You have caused judgment to be heard from heaven. The earth trembled and was quieted,
Dal cielo fai udire la sentenza: sbigottita la terra tace
9 when God rose up in judgment in order to bring salvation to all the meek of the earth.
quando Dio si alza per giudicare, per salvare tutti gli umili della terra.
10 For the thinking of man will confess to you, and the legacy of his thinking will keep a feast day to you.
L'uomo colpito dal tuo furore ti dà gloria, gli scampati dall'ira ti fanno festa.
11 Make vows and pay them to the Lord, your God. All you who surround him bring gifts: to him who is terrible,
Fate voti al Signore vostro Dio e adempiteli, quanti lo circondano portino doni al Terribile,
12 even to him who takes away the spirit of leaders, to him who is terrible with the kings of the earth.
a lui che toglie il respiro ai potenti; è terribile per i re della terra.
