Psalms 76
1 For the chief musician, on stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph, a song. God has made himself known in Judah; his name is great in Israel.
Til songmeisteren, med strengleik; ein salme av Asaf, ein song. Gud er kjend i Juda, i Israel er hans namn stort.
2 His tent is in Salem; his dwelling place is in Zion.
Han bygde si hytta i Salem og sin bustad på Sion.
3 There he broke the arrows of the bow, the shield, the sword, and the other weapons of war. (Selah)
Der braut han sund ljoni frå bogen, skjold og sverd og ufred. (Sela)
4 You shine brightly and reveal your glory, as you descend from the mountains, where you killed your victims.
Strålande er du, herleg framfor rans-bergi.
5 The bravehearted were plundered; they fell asleep. All the warriors were helpless.
Dei hjarte-sterke menner hev vorte plundra, dei søv sin svevn, og ingen av kjemporne fann sine hender.
6 At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both rider and horse fell asleep.
Ved ditt trugsmål, Jakobs Gud, vart både vogn og hest djupt svævde.
7 You, yes you, are to be feared; who can stand in your sight when you are angry?
Du - skræmeleg er du, og kven kann standa for di åsyn når du vert vreid?
8 From heaven you made your judgment heard; the earth was afraid and silent
Frå himmelen let du høyrast dom; jordi ræddast og vart still
9 when you, God, arose to execute judgment and to save all the oppressed of the earth. (Selah)
då Gud stod upp til dom, til å frelsa alle spaklyndte på jordi. (Sela)
10 Surely your angry judgment against humanity will bring you praise; you gird yourself with what is left of your anger.
For manne-harm må prisa deg, med endå større harm gyrder du deg.
11 Make vows to Yahweh your God and keep them. May all who surround him bring gifts to him who is to be feared.
Gjer lovnad og haldt det de lova til Herren, dykkar Gud! Alle kring honom skal føra gåvor til den skræmelege.
12 He cuts off the spirit of the princes; he is feared by the kings of the earth.
Han staggar stormodet hjå hovdingar, han er skræmeleg for kongarne på jordi.
