< 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 Overseer with stringed instruments. — A Psalm of Asaph. — A Song. In Judah [is] God known, in Israel His name [is] great.
2 His tent is in Salem, His dwelling place in Zion.
And His tabernacle is in Salem, And His habitation in Zion.
3 There He shattered the flaming arrows, the shield and sword and weapons of war.
There he hath shivered arrows of a bow, Shield, and sword, and battle. (Selah)
4 You are resplendent with light, more majestic than mountains filled with game.
Bright [art] Thou, honourable above hills of prey.
5 The valiant lie plundered; they sleep their last sleep. No men of might could lift a hand.
Spoiled themselves have the mighty of heart, They have slept their sleep, And none of the men of might found their hands.
6 At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both horse and rider lie stunned.
From Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse have been fast asleep.
7 You alone are to be feared. When You are angry, who can stand before You?
Thou, fearful [art] Thou, And who doth stand before Thee, Since Thou hast been angry!
8 From heaven You pronounced judgment, and the earth feared and was still
From heaven Thou hast sounded judgment, Earth hath feared, and hath been still,
9 when God rose up to judge, to save all the lowly of the earth.
In the rising of God to judgment, To save all the humble of earth. (Selah)
10 Even the wrath of man shall praise You; with the survivors of wrath You will clothe Yourself.
For the fierceness of man praiseth Thee, The remnant of fierceness Thou girdest on.
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 complete to Jehovah your God, All ye surrounding him. They bring presents to the Fearful One.
12 He breaks the spirits of princes; He is feared by the kings of the earth.
He doth gather the spirit of leaders, Fearful to the kings of earth!
