Salme 76

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

People in Judah know God; the Israeli people honor him [MTY].

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

His home is in Jerusalem; he lives on Zion [Hill].

3 Der brød han Buens Lyn, skjold og Sværd og Krigsværn. (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 Frygtelig var du, herlig på de evige Bjerge.

God, you are glorious! You are like a king [as you return from] the mountains [where you defeated your enemies].

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

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

When you, the God whom Jacob [worshiped], rebuked [your enemies], [the result was that their] horses and their riders fell down dead.

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

But you cause everyone to be afraid. When you are angry [and you punish people], no one can [RHQ] endure it.

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

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

when you arose to declare that you would punish [wicked people] and rescue all those whom they had oppressed.

10 Thi Folkestammer skal takke dig, de sidste af Stammerne fejre 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 Aflæg Løfter og indfri dem for HERREN eders Gud, alle omkring ham skal bringe den Frygtindgydende Gaver.

[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 Fyrsternes Mod, indgyder Jordens Konger Frygt.

He humbles [IDM] princes, and [even] causes [great] kings to be terrified.
