Psalms 68
1 To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm: a Song. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered, and let them that hate him flee before him.
Til Sangmesteren, af David; en Psalme, en Sang.
2 As smoke is driven, thou wilt drive them away; as wax melteth before the fire, the wicked shall perish at the presence of God.
Gud staar op, hans Fjender adspredes, og de, som hade ham, fly for hans Ansigt.
3 But the righteous shall rejoice: they shall exult before God and be glad with joy.
Som Røg driver bort, vil du bortdrive dem; som Voks smelter for Ild, skulle de ugudelige omkomme for Guds Ansigt.
4 Sing unto God, sing forth his name; cast up a way for him that rideth in the deserts: his name is Jah; and rejoice before him.
Men de retfærdige skulle glædes, de skulle fryde sig for Guds Ansigt og juble med Glæde.
5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
Synger for Gud, lovsynger hans Navn, baner Vej for ham, som farer frem igennem Ørkenen; Herren er hans Navn, og fryder eder for hans Ansigt.
6 God maketh the solitary into families; those that were bound he bringeth out into prosperity: but the rebellious dwell in a parched [land].
Faderløses Fader og Enkers Dommer er Gud i sin hellige Bolig.
7 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness (Selah)
Gud lader de enlige bo i Huse, han udfører de bundne i Frihed; kun de genstridige bo i det fortørrede Land.
8 The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God, yon Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
Gud! da du drog ud foran dit Folk, da du skred frem gennem Ørkenen (Sela)
9 Thou, O God, didst pour a plentiful rain upon thine inheritance, and when it was weary thou strengthenedst it.
Da bævede Jorden, og Himlene dryppede for Guds Ansigt, hint Sinaj! for Guds, Israels Guds Ansigt.
10 Thy flock hath dwelt therein: thou hast prepared in thy goodness, for the afflicted, O God!
En Regn af Gaver lod du strømme ned, o Gud! din Arv, som var træt, styrkede du.
11 The Lord gives the word: great the host of the publishers.
Din Hjord bosatte sig i Landet; du beredte det, Gud! for den elendige ved din Godhed.
12 Kings of armies flee; they flee, and she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.
Herren lader. Ordet udgaa; de Kvinder, som bringe glad Budskab, ere en stor Hær.
13 Though ye have lain among the sheepfolds, [ye shall be as] wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with green gold.
Hærskarernes Konger fly, de fly; og hun, som bor i Huset, uddeler Bytte.
14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it became snow-white as Zalmon.
Naar I ligge mellem Foldene, er det som en Dues Vinger, skjulte med Sølv, og hvis Vingefjedre ere indsprængte med Guldets gyldengrønne Glans.
15 [As] mount Bashan is the mount of God, a many-peaked mountain, [as] mount Bashan.
Naar den Almægtige spreder Konger derudi, da falder der Sne paa Zalmon.
16 Why do ye look with envy, ye many-peaked mountains, upon the mount that God hath desired for his abode? yea, Jehovah will dwell [there] for ever.
Et Guds Bjerg er Basans Bjerg, et Bjerg med mange Tinder er Basans Bjerg.
17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them: it is a Sinai in holiness.
Hvorfor se I Bjerge med de mange Tinder med Avind til det Bjerg, som Gud havde Lyst at bo paa? ja, Herren vil bo derpaa evindelig.
18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts in Man, and even [for] the rebellious, for the dwelling [there] of Jah Elohim.
Guds Vogne ere to Gange ti Tusinde, tusinde Gange tusinde; Herren er iblandt dem som paa Sinaj i Hellighed.
19 Blessed be the Lord: day by day doth he load us [with good], the God who is our salvation. (Selah)
Du opfor i Højheden, du bortførte Fanger, du annammede Gaver iblandt Mennesker, ja, endog iblandt de genstridige, at du maa blive boende, o Herre, o Gud!
20 Our God is the God of salvation; and with Jehovah, the Lord, are the goings forth [even] from death.
Lovet være Herren fra Dag til Dag! lægger han os en Byrde paa, saa er Gud dog vor Frelse. (Sela)
21 Verily God will smite the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of him that goeth on still in his trespasses.
Vi have en Gud, som er en Gud til Frelse, og hos den Herre, Herre ere Udgange fra Døden.
22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring [them] again from the depth of the sea;
Men Gud skal knuse sine Fjenders Hoved, dens haarrige Isse, som vandrer frem i sin Skyld.
23 That thou mayest dip thy foot in blood: the tongue of thy dogs has its portion from enemies.
Herren sagde: Jeg vil føre dem tilbage fra Basan, jeg vil føre dem tilbage fra Havets Dybheder,
24 They have seen thy goings, O God, the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
paa det din Fod maa vade i Blod, og dine Hundes Tunge faa sin Del af Fjenderne.
25 The singers went before, the players on stringed instruments after, in the midst of maidens playing on tabrets.
Gud! de saa dine Tog, min Guds, min Konges Tog i Hellighed.
26 In the congregations bless ye God, the Lord, — [ye] from the fountain of Israel.
Foran gik Sangerne, bagefter de, som legede paa Strengeleg, midt imellem Pigerne, som sloge paa Tromme.
27 There is little Benjamin, their ruler; the princes of Judah, their company; the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.
Lover Gud i Forsamlingerne; lover Herren, I, som ere af Israels Kilde!
28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
Der er Benjamin, den lille, der herskede over dem, Judas Fyrster, som stenede dem, Sebulons Fyrster, Nafthalis Fyrster.
29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.
Din Gud har befalet dig at være stærk; styrk, o Gud! det, du har gjort os.
30 Rebuke the beast of the reeds, the assembly of the strong, with the calves of the peoples: [every one] submitteth himself with pieces of silver. Scatter the peoples that delight in war.
Fra dit Tempel i Jerusalem skulle Konger fremføre dig Gave.
31 Great ones shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall quickly stretch out her hands unto God.
Skæld paa Dyret iblandt Rørene, de stærke Øksnes Hob med Folkekalvene, som nedkaste sig med Sølvstykker; han adspredte Folkene, som have Lyst til Strid.
32 Ye kingdoms of the earth, sing unto God; sing psalms of the Lord, (Selah)
Fyrster skulle komme fra Ægypten; Morland skal hastelig udstrække sine Hænder til Gud.
33 Of him that rideth upon the heavens, the heavens which are of old: lo, he uttereth his voice, a mighty voice.
I Riger paa Jorden! synger for Gud, lovsynger Herren (Sela)
34 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
ham, som farer i Himlenes Himle, som ere fra fordums Tid, se, han udgiver sin Røst, den mægtige Røst.
35 Terrible art thou, O God, out of thy sanctuaries, — the God of Israel! He it is that giveth strength and might unto the people. Blessed be God!
Giver Gud Magten; hans Højhed er over Israel og hans Magt i Skyerne. Forfærdelig er du, o Gud! fra dine Helligdomme; Israels Gud, han giver Folket Kraft og Styrke; lovet være Gud!
