Psalms 76

1 [For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm by Asaph. A song.] In Judah, God is known. His name is great in Israel.

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

2 And his abode is in Salem, and his lair in Zion.

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

3 There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. (Selah)

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

4 Glorious are you, and excellent, more than mountains of game.

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

5 Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.

Frygtelig var du, herlig paa de evige Bjerge.

6 At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep.

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

7 You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?

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

8 You pronounced judgment from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent,

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

9 when God arose to judgment, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. (Selah)

Fra Himlen fældte du Dom, Jorden grued og tav,

10 Surely the wrath of man praises you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.

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

11 Make vows to YHWH your God, and fulfill them. Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.

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

12 He humbles the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the 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.
