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.

Unto the end, in praises, a psalm for Asaph: a canticle to the Assyrians. In Judea God is known: his name is great in Israel.

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

And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:

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

There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battie.

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

Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.

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

All the foolish of heart were troubled. They have slept their sleep; and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.

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

At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.

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

Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.

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

Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,

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

When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.

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

For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.

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 ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. To him that is terrible,

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

Even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with the kings of the earth.
