Psalms 76

1 For the end, among the Hymns, a Psalm for Asaph; a Song for the Assyrian. God is known in Judea: his name is great in Israel.

2 And his place has been in peace, and his dwelling-place in Sion.

3 There he broke the power of the bows, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Pause)

4 Thou dost wonderfully shine forth from the everlasting mountains.

5 All the simple ones in heart were troubled; all the men of wealth have slept their sleep, and have found nothing in their hands.

6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, the riders on horses slumbered.

7 Thou art terrible; and who shall withstand thee, because of thine anger?

8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,

9 when God arose to judgment, to save all the meek in heart. (Pause)

10 For the inward thought of man shall give thanks to thee: and the memorial of his inward thought shall keep a feast to thee.

11 Vow, and pay [your vows] to the Lord our God; all that are round about him shall bring gifts, [even] to him that is terrible,

12 and that takes away the spirits of princes; to him that is terrible among the kings of the earth.
