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 Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph: a Song. In Judah is God known, his name is great in Israel;

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

And in Salem is his tent, and his dwelling-place in Zion.

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

There broke he the flashings of the bow, shield and sword and battle. (Selah)

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

More glorious art thou, more excellent, than the mountains of prey.

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

The stout-hearted are made a spoil, they have slept their sleep; and none of the men of might have found their hands.

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

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

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

Thou, thou art to be feared, and who can stand before thee when once thou art angry?

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

Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from the heavens; the earth feared, and was still,

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

When God rose up to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. (Selah)

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

For the fury of man shall praise thee; the remainder of fury wilt thou gird on thyself.

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.

Vow and pay unto Jehovah your God: let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that is to be feared.

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

He cutteth off the spirit of princes; [he] is terrible to the kings of the earth.
