Psalm 76
1 Dem Musikmeister, mit Saitenspiel. Ein Psalm Asaphs. Ein Lied. Gott ist in Juda bekannt, in Israel ist sein Name groß.
People in Judah know God; the Israeli people honor him [MTY].
2 Ist doch in Salem seine Hütte, und seine Wohnung auf Zion.
His home is in Jerusalem; he lives on Zion [Hill].
3 Dort zerbrach er die Blitze des Bogens, Schild und Schwert und Streit. (Sela)
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.
4 Furchtbar bist du, herrlich, von den ewigen Bergen her.
God, you are glorious! You are like a king [as you return from] the mountains [where you defeated your enemies].
5 Ausgeplündert wurden, die starkes Mutes waren; sie sanken in Schlaf, und allen Tapferen versagten ihre Hände.
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]!
6 Von deinem Schelten, Gott Jakobs, wurden so Wagen als Roß in tiefen Schlaf versenkt.
When you, the God whom Jacob [worshiped], rebuked [your enemies], [the result was that their] horses and their riders fell down dead.
7 Du bist furchtbar, und wer kann vor deinem Angesicht bestehn, sobald du zürnst?
But you cause everyone to be afraid. When you are angry [and you punish people], no one can [RHQ] endure it.
8 Vom Himmel ließest du das Urteil vernehmen; da erschrak die Erde und ward still,
From heaven you proclaimed that you would judge people, [and then everyone on] the earth was afraid and did not say [anything more],
9 als Gott sich zum Gericht erhob, um allen Gebeugten auf Erden zu helfen. (Sela)
when you arose to declare that you would punish [wicked people] and rescue all those whom they had oppressed.
10 Denn der Grimm der Menschen preist dich; mit dem Überreste der Ausbrüche des Grimms gürtest du dich.
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.
11 Gelobt und bezahlt Gelübde Jahwe, eurem Gott! Alle um ihn her müssen dem Furchtbaren Gaben bringen,
[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.
12 der Fürsten des Mutes beraubt und den Königen auf Erden furchtbar ist.
He humbles [IDM] princes, and [even] causes [great] kings to be terrified.
