Psalms 76

1 TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. A PSALM OF ASAPH. A SONG. God [is] known in Judah, His Name [is] great in Israel.

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

2 And His dwelling place is in Salem, And His habitation in Zion.

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

3 There He has shattered arrows of a bow, Shield, and sword, and battle. (Selah)

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

4 You [are] bright, majestic above hills of prey.

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

5 The mighty of heart have spoiled themselves, They have slept their sleep, And none of the men of might found their hands.

Frygtelig var du, herlig paa de evige Bjerge.

6 From Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse have been fast asleep.

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

7 You, fearful [are] You, And who stands before You, Since You have been angry?

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

8 You have sounded judgment from the heavens, Earth has feared, and has been still,

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

9 In the rising of God to judgment, To save all the humble of earth. (Selah)

Fra Himlen fældte du Dom, Jorden grued og tav,

10 For the fierceness of man praises You, You gird on the remnant of fierceness.

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

11 Vow and complete to your God YHWH, All you surrounding Him, They bring presents to the Fearful One.

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

12 He gathers the spirit of leaders, Fearful to the kings of 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.
