Psalms 76

1 To the chief music-maker; put to Neginoth. A Psalm. Of Asaph. A Song. In Judah is the knowledge of God; his name is great in Israel,

Unto the end, in praises, a psalm for Asaph: a canticle to the Assyrians. In Judea God is known: his name is great in Israel.

2 In Salem is his tent, his resting-place in Zion.

And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:

3 There were the arrows of the bow broken, there he put an end to body-cover, sword, and fight. (Selah)

There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battie.

4 You are shining and full of glory, more than the eternal mountains.

Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.

5 Gone is the wealth of the strong, their last sleep has overcome them; the men of war have become feeble.

All the foolish of heart were troubled. They have slept their sleep; and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.

6 At the voice of your wrath, O God of Jacob, deep sleep has overcome carriage and horse.

At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.

7 You, you are to be feared; who may keep his place before you in the time of your wrath?

Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.

8 From heaven you gave your decision; the earth, in its fear, gave no sound,

Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,

9 When God took his place as judge, for the salvation of the poor on the earth. (Selah)

When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.

10 The ... will give you praise; the rest of ...

For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.

11 Give to the Lord your God what is his by right; let all who are round him give offerings to him who is to be feared.

Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. To him that is terrible,

12 He puts an end to the wrath of rulers; he is feared by the kings of the earth.

Even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with the kings of the earth.
