Psalms 76

1 Unto the end. With Praises. A Psalm of Asaph. A Canticle to the Assyrians. In Judea, God is known. In Israel, his name is great.

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 And his place has been formed with peace. And his dwelling place is in Zion.

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

3 In that place, he has broken the powers of the bows, the shield, the sword, and the battle.

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

4 You illuminate wondrously from the mountains of eternity.

Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.

5 All the foolish of heart have been disturbed. They have slept their sleep, and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.

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 your rebuke, O God of Jacob, those who were mounted on horseback have fallen asleep.

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

7 You are terrible, and so, who can withstand you? From thence is your wrath.

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

8 You have caused judgment to be heard from heaven. The earth trembled and was quieted,

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

9 when God rose up in judgment in order to bring salvation to all the meek of the earth.

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

10 For the thinking of man will confess to you, and the legacy of his thinking will keep a feast day to you.

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

11 Make vows and pay them to the Lord, your God. All you who surround him bring gifts: to him who is terrible,

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

12 even to him who takes away the spirit of leaders, to him who is terrible with the kings of the earth.

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