Psalms 76

1 For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm by Asaph. A song. In Judah, God is known. His name is great in Israel.

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

2 His tabernacle is also in Salem. His dwelling place in Zion.

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

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

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

4 Glorious are you, and excellent, more than mountains of game.

Frygtelig var du, herlig på de evige Bjerge.

5 Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.

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

6 At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

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

7 You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?

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

8 You pronounced judgment from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent,

Fra Himlen fældte du Dom. Jorden grued og tav,

9 when God arose to judgment, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. (Selah)

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

10 Surely the wrath of man praises you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.

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

11 Make vows to Yahweh your God, and fulfill them! Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.

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

12 He will cut off the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.

Han kuer Fyrsternes Mod, indgyder Jordens Konger Frygt.
