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 choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A song. God is 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 in Zion.

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

There He shattered the flaming arrows, the shield and sword and weapons of war.

4 Frygtelig var du, herlig på de evige Bjerge.

You are resplendent with light, more majestic than mountains filled with game.

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

The valiant lie plundered; they sleep their last sleep. No men of might could lift a hand.

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

At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both horse and rider lie stunned.

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

You alone are to be feared. When You are angry, who can stand before You?

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

From heaven You pronounced judgment, and the earth feared and was still

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

when God rose up to judge, to save all the lowly of the earth.

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

Even the wrath of man shall praise You; with the survivors of wrath You will clothe Yourself.

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

Make and fulfill your vows to the LORD your God; let all the neighboring lands bring tribute to Him who is to be feared.

12 Han kuer Fyrsternes Mod, indgyder Jordens Konger Frygt.

He breaks the spirits of princes; He is feared by the kings of the earth.
