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.
“For the leader of the music. Upon stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph.” In Judah is God known; Great is his name in Israel.
2 His tent is in Salem, His dwelling place in Zion.
In Jerusalem is his tabernacle, And in Zion his dwelling-place.
3 There He shattered the flaming arrows, the shield and sword and weapons of war.
There brake he the lightning of the bow, The shield, the sword, and all the weapons of battle.
4 You are resplendent with light, more majestic than mountains filled with game.
More glorious and excellent art thou Than those mountains of robbers!
5 The valiant lie plundered; they sleep their last sleep. No men of might could lift a hand.
Spoiled are the stout-hearted; They sank into their sleep; The hands of the mighty were powerless.
6 At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both horse and rider lie stunned.
Before thy rebuke, O God of Jacob! Fell chariot and horseman into a deep sleep!
7 You alone are to be feared. When You are angry, who can stand before You?
Thou, thou, O God! art terrible! Who can stand before thee in thine anger?
8 From heaven You pronounced judgment, and the earth feared and was still
Thou didst cause 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 to judgment, To save all the oppressed of the earth!
10 Even the wrath of man shall praise You; with the survivors of wrath You will clothe Yourself.
The wrath of man shall praise thee, When thou girdest on the whole of thy wrath!
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.
Make and perform vows to Jehovah, your God! Let all that dwell around him bring gifts to the terrible One,
12 He breaks the spirits of princes; He is feared by the kings of the earth.
Who casteth down the pride of princes, Who is terrible to the kings of the earth!
