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,

In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.

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

In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.

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

There broke he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Selah)

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

You are more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.

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

The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.

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

At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

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

You, even you, are to be feared: and who may stand in your sight when once you are angry?

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

You did cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,

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

When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. (Selah)

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

Surely the wrath of man shall praise you: the remainder of wrath shall you restrain.

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, and pay to the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents to him that ought to be feared.

12 He puts an end to the wrath of rulers; 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.
