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 him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme or song committed to Asaph. God is knowen in Iudah: his Name is great in Israel.

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

For in Shalem is his Tabernacle, and his dwelling in Zion.

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

There brake he the arrowes of the bowe, the shielde and the sword and the battell. (Selah)

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

Thou art more bright and puissant, then the mountaines of pray.

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

The stout hearted are spoyled: they haue slept their sleepe, and all the men of strength haue not found their hands.

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

At thy rebuke, O God of Iaakob, both the chariot and horse are cast a sleepe.

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

Thou, euen thou art to be feared: and who shall stand in thy sight, when thou art angrie!

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

Thou didest cause thy iudgement to bee heard from heauen: therefore the earth feared and was still,

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

When thou, O God, arose to iudgement, to helpe all the meeke of the earth. (Selah)

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

Surely the rage of man shall turne to thy praise: the remnant of the rage shalt thou restrayne.

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.

Vowe and performe vnto the Lord your God, all ye that be rounde about him: let them bring presents vnto him that ought to be feared.

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

He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the Kings of the earth.
