1Til korlederen: Brug strengeinstrumenterne. En lovsang af Asaf.2Gud har vist sin magt i Judas land, han er berømt overalt i Israel.3Hans bolig er bygget i Jerusalem, hans hjem findes på Zions bjerg.4Han brækkede fjendens pile og skjolde, han ødelagde alle deres våben.5Du er mægtig og herlig, større end de højeste bjerge.[1]6De stolte fjender blev slået, nu sover de dødens søvn. De kunne intet stille op mod dig.7Ved lyden af dit krigsråb, Jakobs Gud, faldt heste og ryttere omkuld.8Hvem ville ikke frygte dig, Gud? Hvem kan holde stand mod din vrede?9Du udråbte din dom fra himlen, jorden skælvede og tav stille.10Du gik til angreb for at dømme de gudløse, for at forsvare dit undertrykte folk.11Vi ærer dig, fordi du straffede de onde, du åbenbarede din mægtige vrede.[2]12Opfyld de løfter, I har givet jeres Gud. Bring jeres gaver som tak til den Almægtige.13Han ydmyger stormænd og mægtige fyrster, alle konger på jorden frygter hans magt.
Salme 76
King James Version
1To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm or Song of Asaph. In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.2In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.3There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.4Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.5The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.6At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.7Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?8Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,9When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.10Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.11Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.12He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
