Israēla Dievs ir tautu tiesnesis
1 Korvedim. Stīgu pavadījumam. Āsāfa psalms . Dziesma.
2 Pazīst gan Jūdā Dievu!
Israēlā liels viņa vārds!
3 Viņa slēpnis ir Šālēmā
un viņa mājvieta Ciānā –
4 tur viņš salauza uguns šautras,
vairogus, šķēpus un kara rīkus.
5 Spožs tu, dižens tu,
kas laupījuma kalnus
6 atņēmi drosmīgajiem!
Tie snauž, nevienam karotājam pat roka nepakust!
7 Tevis norāti, Jēkaba Dievs,
nemaņā gan braucēji, gan zirgi!
8 Tu, baiss esi tu!
Kurš nostāvēs tavā priekšā, kad tu dusmo?!
9 No debesīm tu spriedi tiesu –
zeme bijās un cieta klusu,
10 kad cēlās tiesāt Dievs,
glābt visus nabagos uz zemes!
11 Pat naidā cilvēki slavinās tevi –
kas paglābsies tavu dusmu,
ar tiem tu greznosies!
12 Solieties un dodiet Kungam, jūsu Dievam!
Visi, kas apkārt, nesiet Bargajam veltes,
13 viņš dižajiem salauž garu
un zemes ķēniņiem iedveš bailes!
God the Victor
1 God is known in Judah;
his name is honored in Israel.
2 He has his home in Jerusalem;
he lives on Mount Zion.
3 There he broke the arrows of the enemy,
their shields and swords, yes, all their weapons.
4 How glorious you are, O God!
How majestic, as you return from the mountains
where you defeated your foes.
5 Their brave soldiers have been stripped of all they had
and now are sleeping the sleep of death;
all their strength and skill was useless.
6 When you threatened them, O God of Jacob,
the horses and their riders fell dead.
7 But you, Lord, are feared by all.
No one can stand in your presence
when you are angry.
8 You made your judgment known from heaven;
the world was afraid and kept silent,
9 when you rose up to pronounce judgment,
to save all the oppressed on earth.
10 Human anger only results in more praise for you;
those who survive the wars will keep your festivals.
11 Give the Lord your God what you promised him;
bring gifts to him, all you nearby nations.
God makes everyone fear him;
12 he humbles proud princes
and terrifies great kings.
