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.
In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.
2 His tent is in Salem, His dwelling place in Zion.
In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.
3 There He shattered the flaming arrows, the shield and sword and weapons of war.
There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Selah)
4 You are resplendent with light, more majestic than mountains filled with game.
Thou art more glorious and 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 stouthearted are spoiled, 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 the 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, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight 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 heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
9 when God rose up to judge, to save all the lowly of the earth.
When God arose 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.
Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
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 Yhwh your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto 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.
