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.

TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. A PSALM OF ASAPH. A SONG. God [is] known in Judah, His Name [is] great in Israel.

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

And His dwelling place is in Salem, And His habitation in Zion.

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

There He has shattered arrows of a bow, Shield, and sword, and battle. (Selah)

4 Thou dost wonderfully shine forth from the everlasting mountains.

You [are] bright, majestic above hills of prey.

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.

The mighty of heart have spoiled themselves, They have slept their sleep, And none of the men of might found their hands.

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

From Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse have been fast asleep.

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

You, fearful [are] You, And who stands before You, Since You have been angry?

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

You have sounded judgment from the heavens, Earth has feared, and has been still,

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

In the rising of God to judgment, To save all the humble of earth. (Selah)

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.

For the fierceness of man praises You, You gird on the remnant of fierceness.

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,

Vow and complete to your God YHWH, All you surrounding Him, They bring presents to the Fearful One.

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

He gathers the spirit of leaders, Fearful to the kings of earth!
