Salme 77

1 Til Sangmesteren. Til Jedutun. Af Asaf. En Salme.

To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph. I cried unto God with my voice, [even] unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.

2 Jeg raaber højt til Gud, højt til Gud, og han hører mig;

In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.

3 jeg søger Herren paa Nødens Dag, min Haand er om Natten utrættet udrakt, min Sjæl vil ikke lade sig trøste;

I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. (Selah)

4 jeg ihukommer Gud og stønner, jeg sukker, min Aand vansmægter. (Sela)

Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

5 Du holder mine Øjne vaagne, jeg er urolig og maalløs.

I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

6 Jeg tænker paa fordums Dage, ihukommer længst henrundne Aar;

I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.

7 jeg gransker om Natten i Hjertet, grunder og ransager min Aand.

Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?

8 Vil Herren bortstøde for evigt og aldrig mer vise Naade,

Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth [his] promise fail for evermore?

9 er hans Miskundhed ude for stedse, hans Trofasthed omme for evigt og altid,

Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? (Selah)

10 har Gud da glemt at ynkes, lukket sit Hjerte i Vrede? (Sela)

And I said, This [is] my infirmity: [but I will remember] the years of the right hand of the most High.

11 Jeg sagde: Det er min Smerte, at den Højestes højre er ikke som før.

I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.

12 Jeg kommer HERRENS Gerninger i Hu, ja kommer dine fordums Undere i Hu.

I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.

13 Jeg tænker paa al din Gerning og grunder over dine Værker.

Thy way, O God, [is] in the sanctuary: who [is so] great a God as [our] God?

14 Gud, din Vej var i Hellighed, hvo er en Gud saa stor som Gud!

Thou [art] the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.

15 Du er en Gud, som gør Undere, du gjorde din Vælde kendt blandt Folkene,

Thou hast with [thine] arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)

16 udøste dit Folk med din Arm, Jakobs og Josefs Sønner. (Sela)

The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.

17 Vandene saa dig, Gud, Vandene saa dig og vred sig i Angst, ja Dybet tog til at skælve;

The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.

18 Skyerne udøste Vand, Skyhimlens Stemme gjalded, dine Pile for hid og did;

The voice of thy thunder [was] in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.

19 din bragende Torden rulled, Lynene oplyste Jorderig, Jorden bæved og skjalv;

Thy way [is] in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.

20 din Vej gik midt gennem Havet, din Sti gennem store Vande, dine Fodspor kendtes ikke. Du førte dit Folk som en Hjord ved Moses's og Arons Haand.

Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
