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.) Gud er kendt i Juda, hans navn er stort i Israel,

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

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

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

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

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

Frygtelig var du, herlig på de evige Bjerge.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Fra Himlen fældte du Dom. Jorden grued og tav,

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

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

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

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

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

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

12 He gathers the spirit of leaders, Fearful to the kings of earth!

Han kuer Fyrsternes Mod, indgyder Jordens Konger Frygt.
