Psalms 76

1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A song. God is known in Judah; His name is great in Israel.

To the chief music-maker; put to Neginoth. A Psalm. Of Asaph. A Song. In Judah is the knowledge of God; his name is great in Israel,

2 His tent is in Salem, His dwelling place in Zion.

In Salem is his tent, his resting-place in Zion.

3 There He shattered the flaming arrows, the shield and sword and weapons of war.

There were the arrows of the bow broken, there he put an end to body-cover, sword, and fight. (Selah)

4 You are resplendent with light, more majestic than mountains filled with game.

You are shining and full of glory, more than the eternal mountains.

5 The valiant lie plundered; they sleep their last sleep. No men of might could lift a hand.

Gone is the wealth of the strong, their last sleep has overcome them; the men of war have become feeble.

6 At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both horse and rider lie stunned.

At the voice of your wrath, O God of Jacob, deep sleep has overcome carriage and horse.

7 You alone are to be feared. When You are angry, who can stand before You?

You, you are to be feared; who may keep his place before you in the time of your wrath?

8 From heaven You pronounced judgment, and the earth feared and was still

From heaven you gave your decision; the earth, in its fear, gave no sound,

9 when God rose up to judge, to save all the lowly of the earth.

When God took his place as judge, for the salvation of the poor on the earth. (Selah)

10 Even the wrath of man shall praise You; with the survivors of wrath You will clothe Yourself.

The ... will give you praise; the rest of ...

11 Make and fulfill your vows to the LORD your God; let all the neighboring lands bring tribute to Him who is to be feared.

Give to the Lord your God what is his by right; let all who are round him give offerings to him who is to be feared.

12 He breaks the spirits of princes; He is feared by the kings of the earth.

He puts an end to the wrath of rulers; he is feared by the kings of the earth.
