Salmenes 76
1 Til sangmesteren på strengelek; en salme av Asaf; en sang. Gud er kjent i Juda, hans navn er stort i Israel.
People in Judah know God; the Israeli people honor him [MTY].
2 Og han reiste sin hytte i Salem og sin bolig på Sion.
His home is in Jerusalem; he lives on Zion [Hill].
3 Der sønderbrøt han buens lyn, skjold og sverd og krig. (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 Strålende er du, herlig fremfor røverfjellene.
God, you are glorious! You are like a king [as you return from] the mountains [where you defeated your enemies].
5 Mennene med det sterke hjerte er blitt et rov; de sover sin søvn, og ingen av de veldige menn fant sine hender.
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 Ved din trusel, Jakobs Gud, falt både vogn og hest i dyp søvn.
When you, the God whom Jacob [worshiped], rebuked [your enemies], [the result was that their] horses and their riders fell down dead.
7 Du - forferdelig er du, og hvem kan bli stående for ditt åsyn når du blir vred?
But you cause everyone to be afraid. When you are angry [and you punish people], no one can [RHQ] endure it.
8 Fra himmelen lot du høre dom; jorden fryktet og blev stille,
From heaven you proclaimed that you would judge people, [and then everyone on] the earth was afraid and did not say [anything more],
9 da Gud reiste sig til dom for å frelse alle saktmodige på jorden. (Sela)
when you arose to declare that you would punish [wicked people] and rescue all those whom they had oppressed.
10 For menneskets vrede blir dig til pris; med enda større vrede omgjorder du dig.
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 Gjør løfter og gi Herren eders Gud det I har lovt! Alle de som er omkring ham, skal komme med gaver til den Forferdelige.
[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 Han kuer fyrstenes stolte ånd, forferdelig for kongene på jorden.
He humbles [IDM] princes, and [even] causes [great] kings to be terrified.
