Psalms 68
1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. A song.] Let God arise. Let his enemies be scattered, and let them who hate him flee before him.
(Til sangmesteren. Af David. En salme. En sang.) Når Gud står op, da splittes hans fjender, hans Avindsmænd flyr for hans Åsyn,
2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
som Røg henvejres, så henvejres de; som Voks, der smelter for Ild, går gudløse til Grunde for Guds Åsyn.
3 But let the righteous be glad. Let them rejoice before God. Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.
Men retfærdige frydes og jubler med Glæde og Fryd for Guds Åsyn.
4 Sing to God. Sing praises to his name. Extol him who rides on the clouds: to JAH, his name. Rejoice before him.
Syng for Gud, lovsyng hans Navn, hyld ham, der farer frem gennem Ørknerne! HERREN er hans Navn, jubler for hans Åsyn,
5 A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
faderløses Fader, Enkers Værge, Gud i hans hellige Bolig,
6 God sets the lonely in families. He brings out the prisoners with singing, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.
Gud, som bringer ensomme hjem, fører Fanger ud til Lykke; men genstridige bor i tørre Egne.
7 God, when you went forth before your people, when you marched through the wilderness... (Selah)
Da du drog ud, o Gud, i Spidsen for dit Folk, skred frem gennem Ørkenen (Sela) da rystede Jorden,
8 The earth trembled. The sky also poured down rain at the presence of the God of Sinai—at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
ja, Himlen dryppede for Guds Åsyn, for Guds Åsyn, Israels Guds.
9 You, God, sent a plentiful rain. You confirmed your inheritance, when it was weary.
Regn i Strømme lod du falde, o Gud, din vansmægtende Arvelod styrkede du;
10 Your congregation lived in it. You, God, prepared your goodness for the poor.
din Skare tog Bolig der, for de arme sørged du, Gud, i din Godhed,
11 YHWH announced the word; a great company of women proclaim the good news.
Ord lægger Herren de Kvinder i Munden, som bringer Glædesbud, en talrig Hær:
12 "Kings of armies flee. They flee." She who waits at home divides the spoil,
"Hærenes Konger flyr, de flyr, Husets Frue uddeler Bytte.
13 while you sleep among the campfires, the wings of a dove sheathed with silver, her feathers with shining gold.
Vil l da blive imellem Foldene? Duens Vinger dækkes af Sølv, dens Fjedre af gulgrønt Guld.
14 When Shaddai scattered kings in her, it snowed on Zalmon.
Da den Almægtige splittede Kongerne der, faldt der Sne på Zalmon."
15 The mountains of Bashan are majestic mountains. The mountains of Bashan are rugged.
Et Gudsbjerg er Basans Bjerg, et Bjerg med spidse Tinder er Basans Bjerg;
16 Why do you look in envy, you rugged mountains, at the mountain where God chooses to reign? Yes, YHWH will dwell there forever.
Hvi skæver I Bjerge med spidse Tinder til Bjerget, Gud ønskede til Bolig, hvor HERREN også vil bo for evigt?
17 The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands. YHWH is among them, from Sinai, in holiness.
Titusinder er Guds Vogne, tusinde Gange tusinde, HERREN kom fra Sinaj til Helligdommen.
18 You have ascended on high. You have taken captivity captive. And you gave gifts to people; but the rebellious will not dwell in the presence of God.
Du steg op til det høje, du bortførte Fanger, Gaver tog du blandt Mennesker, også iblandt de genstridige, at du måtte bo der, HERRE, o Gud.
19 Blessed be YHWH, who daily bears our burdens, even the God who is our salvation. (Selah)
Lovet være Herren! Fra Dag til Dag bærer han vore Byrder; Gud er vor Frelse. (Sela)
20 God is to us a God of deliverance. To YHWH belongs escape from death.
En Gud til Frelse er Gud for os, hos den Herre HERREN er Udgange fra Døden.
21 But God will strike through the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of such a one as still continues in his guiltiness.
Men Fjendernes Hoveder knuser Gud, den gudløses Isse, der vandrer i sine Synder.
22 YHWH said, "I will bring you again from Bashan, I will bring you again from the depths of the sea;
Herren har sagt: "Jeg henter dem hjem fra Basan, henter dem hjem fra Havets Dyb,
23 That you may crush them, dipping your foot in blood, that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies."
at din Fod må vade i Blod, dine Hundes Tunger få del i Fjenderne."
24 They have seen your processions, God, even the processions of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
Se på Guds Højtidstog, min Guds, min Konges Højtidstog ind i Helligdommen!
25 The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, in the midst of the ladies playing with tambourines,
Sangerne forrest, så de, der spiller, i Midten unge Piger med Pauker:
26 "Bless God in the congregations, even YHWH from the fountain of Israel."
"Lover Gud i Festforsamlinger, Herren, I af Israels Kilde!"
27 There is little Benjamin, their ruler, the princes of Judah, their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
Der er liden Benjamin forrest, Judas Fyrster i Flok, Zebulons Fyrster, Naftalis Fyrster.
28 Your God has commanded your strength. Strengthen, God, that which you have done for us.
Opbyd, o Gud, din Styrke, styrk, hvad du gjorde for os, o Gud!
29 Because of your temple at Jerusalem, kings shall bring presents to you.
For dit Tempels Skyld skal Konger bringe dig Gaver i Jerusalem.
30 Rebuke the wild animal of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples. Being humbled, may it bring bars of silver. Scatter the nations that delight in war.
Tru ad Dyret i Sivet, Tyreflokken, Folkeslags Herrer, så de hylder dig med deres Sølvstykker. Adsplit Folkeslag, der elsker Strid!
31 Envoys shall come out of Egypt. Ethiopia shall hurry to stretch out her hands to God.
De kommer med Olie fra Ægypten, Ætiopeme iler til Gud med fulde Hænder.
32 Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth. Sing praises to YHWH. (Selah)
I Jordens Riger, syng for Gud, lovsyng HERREN;
33 To him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which are of old; look, he utters his voice, a mighty voice.
hyld ham der farer frem på Himlenes Himle, de gamle! Se, han løfter sin Røst, en vældig Røst.
34 Ascribe strength to God. His excellency is over Israel, his strength is in the skies.
Giv Gud Ære! Over Israel er hans Højhed, Hans Vælde i Skyerne,
35 You are awesome, God, in your sanctuaries. The God of Israel gives strength and power to his people. Praise be to God.
frygtelig er Gud i sin Helligdom. Israels Gud; han giver Folket Styrke og Kraft. Lovet være Gud!
