1 Ja, derover skælver mit Hjerte, bævende skifter det Sted!

1 “At this also my heart trembles,And leaps from its place.

2 Lyt dog til hans bragende Røst, til Drønet, der går fra hans Mund!

2 “Listen closely to the thunder of His voice,And the rumbling that goes out from His mouth.

3 Han slipper det løs under hele Himlen, sit Lys til Jordens Ender;

3 “Under the whole heaven He lets it loose,And His lightning to the ends of the earth.

4 efter det brøler hans Røst, med Højhed brager hans Torden; han sparer ikke på Lyn, imedens hans Stemme høres.

4 “After it, a voice roars;He thunders with His majestic voice,And He does not restrain the lightnings when His voice is heard.

5 Underfuldt lyder Guds Tordenrøst, han øver Vælde, vi fatter det ej.

5 “God thunders with His voice wondrously,Doing great things which we cannot comprehend.

6 Thi han siger til Sneen: "Fald ned på Jorden!" til Byger og Regnskyl: "Bliv stærke!"

6 “For to the snow He says, ‘Fall on the earth,’And to the downpour and the rain, ‘Be strong.’

7 For alle Mennesker sætter han Segl, at de dødelige alle må kende hans Gerning.

7 “He seals the hand of every man,That all men may know His work.

8 De vilde Dyr søger Ly og holder sig i deres Huler:

8 “Then the beast goes into its lairAnd remains in its den.

9 Fra Kammeret kommer der Storm, fra Nordens Stjerner Kulde.

9 “Out of the south comes the storm,And out of the north the cold.

10 Ved Guds Ånde bliver der Is, Vandfladen lægges i Fængsel.

10 “From the breath of God ice is made,And the expanse of the waters is frozen.

11 Så fylder han Skyen med Væde, Skylaget spreder hans Lys;

11 “Also with moisture He loads the thick cloud;He disperses the cloud of His lightning.

12 det farer hid og did og bugter sig efter hans Tanke og udfører alt, hvad han byder, på hele den vide Jord,

12 “It changes direction, turning around by His guidance,That it may do whatever He commands itOn the face of the inhabited earth.

13 hvad enten han slynger det ud som Svøbe, eller han sender det for at velsigne.

13 “Whether for correction, or for His world,Or for lovingkindness, He causes it to happen.

14 Job du må lytte hertil, træd frem og mærk dig Guds Underværker!

14 “Listen to this, O Job,Stand and consider the wonders of God.

15 Fatter du, hvorledes Gud kan magte dem og lade Lys stråle frem fra sin Sky?

15 “Do you know how God establishes them,And makes the lightning of His cloud to shine?

16 Fatter du Skyernes Svæven, den Alvises Underværker?

16 “Do you know about the layers of the thick clouds,The wonders of one perfect in knowledge,

17 Du, hvis Klæder ophedes, når Jorden døser ved Søndenvind?

17 You whose garments are hot,When the land is still because of the south wind?

18 Hvælver du Himlen sammen med ham, fast som det støbte Spejl?

18 “Can you, with Him, spread out the skies,Strong as a molten mirror?

19 Lær mig, hvad vi skal sige ham! Intet kan vi få frem for Mørke.

19 “Teach us what we shall say to Him;We cannot arrange our case because of darkness.

20 Meldes det ham, at jeg taler? Siger en Mand, at han er fra Samling?

20 “Shall it be told Him that I would speak?Or should a man say that he would be swallowed up?

21 Og nu: Man ser ej Lyset, skygget af mørke Skyer, men et Vejr farer hen og renser Himlen,

21 “Now men do not see the light which is bright in the skies;But the wind has passed and cleared them.

22 fra Norden kommer en Lysning. Over Gud er der frygtelig Højhed,

22 “Out of the north comes golden splendor;Around God is awesome majesty.

23 og den Almægtige finder vi ikke. Almægtig og rig på Retfærd bøjer han ikke Retten;

23 “The Almighty—we cannot find Him;He is exalted in powerAnd He will not do violence to justice and abundant righteousness.

24 derfor frygter Mennesker ham, men af selv kloge ænser han ingen. 

24 “Therefore men fear Him;He does not regard any who are wise of heart.”
