Salme 76

1 (Til Sangmesteren. Med Strengespil. En Salme af Asaf. En Sang.) Gud er kendt i Juda, hans navn er stort i Israel,

Unto the end. With Praises. A Psalm of Asaph. A Canticle to the Assyrians. In Judea, God is known. In Israel, his name is great.

2 i Salem er hans Hytte, hans Bolig er på Zion.

And his place has been formed with peace. And his dwelling place is in Zion.

3 Der brød han Buens Lyn, skjold og Sværd og Krigsværn. (Sela)

In that place, he has broken the powers of the bows, the shield, the sword, and the battle.

4 Frygtelig var du, herlig på de evige Bjerge.

You illuminate wondrously from the mountains of eternity.

5 De tapre gjordes til Bytte, i Dvale sank de, og kraften svigted alle de stærke Kæmper.

All the foolish of heart have been disturbed. They have slept their sleep, and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.

6 Jakobs Gud, da du truede, faldt Vogn og Hest i den dybe Søvn.

At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, those who were mounted on horseback have fallen asleep.

7 Frygtelig er du! Hvo holder Stand mod dig i din Vredes Vælde?

You are terrible, and so, who can withstand you? From thence is your wrath.

8 Fra Himlen fældte du Dom. Jorden grued og tav,

You have caused judgment to be heard from heaven. The earth trembled and was quieted,

9 da Gud stod op til Dom for at frelse hver ydmyg på Jord. (Sela)

when God rose up in judgment in order to bring salvation to all the meek of the earth.

10 Thi Folkestammer skal takke dig, de sidste af Stammerne fejre dig.

For the thinking of man will confess to you, and the legacy of his thinking will keep a feast day to you.

11 Aflæg Løfter og indfri dem for HERREN eders Gud, alle omkring ham skal bringe den Frygtindgydende Gaver.

Make vows and pay them to the Lord, your God. All you who surround him bring gifts: to him who is terrible,

12 Han kuer Fyrsternes Mod, indgyder Jordens Konger Frygt.

even to him who takes away the spirit of leaders, to him who is terrible with the kings of the earth.
