Psalms 76
1 People in Judah know God; the Israeli people honor him [MTY].
[Dem Vorsänger, mit Saitenspiel. Ein Psalm von Asaph, ein Lied.] Bekannt ist Gott in Juda, in Israel groß sein Name.
2 His home is in Jerusalem; he lives on Zion [Hill].
Und in Salem ist [Eig. ward] seine Hütte, und seine Wohnung in Zion.
3 There he broke the flaming arrows [that his enemies shot], [and he also broke] their shields and swords and other weapons that they used in battles.
Dort zerbrach er des Bogens Blitze, Schild und Schwert und Krieg. (Sela)
4 God, you are glorious! You are like a king [as you return from] the mountains [where you defeated your enemies].
Glanzvoller bist du, herrlicher als die Berge des Raubes. [O. Glanzvoll bist du, herrlich von den Bergen des Raubes her]
5 Their brave soldiers [were killed, and then those who killed them] took away everything that those soldiers had. Those enemies died [EUP], [so] they were unable to use their weapons [any more]!
Zur Beute sind geworden die Starkherzigen, sie schlafen ihren Schlaf; und keiner der tapferen Männer fand seine Hände.
6 When you, the God whom Jacob [worshiped], rebuked [your enemies], [the result was that their] horses and their riders fell down dead.
Vor deinem Schelten, Gott Jakobs, sind in tiefen Schlaf gesunken sowohl Wagen als Roß.
7 But you cause everyone to be afraid. When you are angry [and you punish people], no one can [RHQ] endure it.
Du, du bist furchtbar, und wer kann vor dir bestehen, sobald du erzürnst!
8 From heaven you proclaimed that you would judge people, [and then everyone on] the earth was afraid and did not say [anything more],
Du ließest Gericht hören [d. h. kündigtest Gericht an] von den Himmeln her; die Erde fürchtete sich und ward stille.
9 when you arose to declare that you would punish [wicked people] and rescue all those whom they had oppressed.
Als Gott aufstand zum Gericht, um zu retten alle Sanftmütigen des Landes. [O. der Erde] (Sela)
10 When [you punish those] with whom you are angry, your people will praise you, and [your enemies] who (survive/are not killed) will worship you on your festival days.
Denn der Grimm des Menschen wird dich preisen; mit dem Rest des Grimmes wirst du dich gürten.
11 [So] give to Yahweh the offerings that you promised to give to him; all the people of nearby people-groups should also bring gifts to him, the one who is awesome.
Tut und bezahlet Gelübde Jehova, eurem Gott; mögen alle, die rings um ihn her sind, Geschenke bringen dem Furchtbaren!
12 He humbles [IDM] princes, and [even] causes [great] kings to be terrified.
Er wird abmähen den Geist [O. das Schnauben] der Fürsten, er ist furchtbar den Königen der Erde.
