Psalms 76

1 For the music director. To be accompanied by stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song. God is famous in Judah; his reputation is great throughout Israel.

(Til Sangmesteren. Med Strengespil. En Salme af Asaf. En Sang.) Gud er kendt i Juda, hans navn er stort i Israel,

2 He lives in Jerusalem; his home is in Zion.

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

3 There he broke the flaming arrows, the shields, the swords, and the weapons of war. (Selah)

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

4 You shine with light; you are more majestic than the everlasting mountains.

Frygtelig var du, herlig på de evige Bjerge.

5 Our most courageous enemies have been plundered. They sleep the sleep of death. Even the strongest of them could not raise a hand against us.

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

6 At your command, God of Jacob, both horse and rider fell down dead.

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

7 You are terrifying—who can stand before you when you are angry?

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

8 From heaven you announced judgment. Everyone on earth was afraid and stood still,

Fra Himlen fældte du Dom. Jorden grued og tav,

9 when you stood up to judge, to save the oppressed people of the earth. (Selah)

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

10 Even human anger against you makes you look glorious, for you wear it alike a crown.

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

11 Make your promises to God and be sure to keep them. Everyone bring gifts to the awe-inspiring one.

Aflæg Løfter og indfri dem for HERREN eders Gud, alle omkring ham skal bringe den Frygtindgydende Gaver.

12 For he humbles proud leaders; he terrifies the kings of the earth.

Han kuer Fyrsternes Mod, indgyder Jordens Konger Frygt.
