Salme 76

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

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.

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

His tent is in Salem; his dwelling place is in Zion.

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

There he broke the arrows of the bow, the shield, the sword, and the other weapons of war. (Selah)

4 Frygtelig var du, herlig på de evige Bjerge.

You shine brightly and reveal your glory, as you descend from the mountains, where you killed your victims.

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

The bravehearted were plundered; they fell asleep. All the warriors were helpless.

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

At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both rider and horse fell asleep.

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

You, yes you, are to be feared; who can stand in your sight when you are angry?

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

From heaven you made your judgment heard; the earth was afraid and silent

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

when you, God, arose to execute judgment and to save all the oppressed of the earth. (Selah)

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

Surely your angry judgment against humanity will bring you praise; you gird yourself with what is left of your anger.

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

Make vows to Yahweh your God and keep them. May all who surround him bring gifts to him who is to be feared.

12 Han kuer Fyrsternes Mod, indgyder Jordens Konger Frygt.

He cuts off the spirit of the princes; he is feared by the kings of the earth.
