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. With Stringed Instruments. A Melody of Asaph, a Song. God is, known in Judah, In Israel, great is his Name;

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

Now hath come into Salem, his pavilion, And his dwelling-place into Zion.

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

There, hath he broken in pieces the arrows of the bow, shield and sword, and battle. (Selah)

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

Enveloped in light, thou, art more majestic than the mountains of prey.

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

The valiant of heart have become a spoil, They have slumbered 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, Stunned are the horsemen.

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

As for thee, to be feared thou art! Who then shall stand before thee, because of the power of thine anger?

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

Out of the heavens, didst thou cause judgment to be heard, 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 oppressed of the earth. (Selah)

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

For the multitude of mankind shall give thanks unto thee, The remainder of the multitude, shall keep holy festival unto 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 and pay, unto Yahweh your God, —Let, all who are round about him, bear along a gift unto him who is to be revered.

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

He cutteth off the spirit of nobles, he is of reverend majesty to the kings of the earth.
