Psalms 76

1 To the choirmaster with stringed instruments a psalm of Asaph a song. [is] known In Judah God in Israel [is] great name his.

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

2 And it was in Salem lair his and den his in Zion.

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

3 There he shattered flames of a bow shield and sword and battle (Selah)

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

4 [are] lighted up You [are] majestic more than mountains of prey.

Frygtelig var du, herlig på de evige Bjerge.

5 They were plundered - [people] mighty of heart they slumbered sleep their and not they found all [the] men of strength hands their.

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

6 From rebuke your O God of Jacob [were] sleeping and chariot and horse.

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

7 You - [are] to be feared you and who? will he stand before you from then anger your.

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

8 From heaven you proclaimed judgment [the] earth it was afraid and it was quiet.

Fra Himlen fældte du Dom. Jorden grued og tav,

9 When arose for judgment God to save all [the] humble [people] of [the] earth (Selah)

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

10 For [the] anger of humankind it will praise you [the] remainder of anger you will gird on.

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

11 Make vows and pay [them] to Yahweh God your all [those] around him let them bring a gift to the awesome one.

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

12 He humbles [the] spirit of rulers [he is] to be feared by [the] kings of [the] earth.

Han kuer Fyrsternes Mod, indgyder Jordens Konger Frygt.
