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.
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 formed with peace. And his dwelling place is in Zion.
And his place has been in peace, and his dwelling-place in Sion.
3 In that place, he has broken the powers of the bows, the shield, the sword, and the battle.
There he broke the power of the bows, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Pause)
4 You illuminate wondrously from the mountains of eternity.
You do wonderfully shine forth from the everlasting mountains.
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 simple ones in heart were troubled; all the men of wealth have slept their sleep, and have found nothing in their hands.
6 At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, those who were mounted on horseback have fallen asleep.
At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, the riders on horses slumbered.
7 You are terrible, and so, who can withstand you? From thence is your wrath.
You are terrible; and who shall withstand you, because of your anger?
8 You have caused judgment to be heard from heaven. The earth trembled and was quieted,
You did cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, 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 to judgment, to save all the meek in heart. (Pause)
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 inward thought of man shall give thanks to you: and the memorial of his inward thought shall keep a feast to you.
11 Make vows and pay them to the Lord, your God. All you who surround him bring gifts: to him who is terrible,
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 even to him who takes away the spirit of leaders, to him who is terrible with the kings of the earth.
and that takes away the spirits of princes; to him that is terrible among the kings of the earth.
