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.

To the Chief Musician. With Stringed Instruments. A Melody of Asaph, a Song. God is, known in Judah, In Israel, great is his Name;

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

Now hath come into Salem, his pavilion, And his dwelling-place into Zion.

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

There, hath he broken in pieces the arrows of the bow, shield and sword, and battle. (Selah)

4 You illuminate wondrously from the mountains of eternity.

Enveloped in light, thou, art more majestic than the mountains of prey.

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.

The valiant of heart have become a spoil, They have slumbered their sleep, And none of the men of might have found 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, Stunned are the horsemen.

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

As for thee, to be feared thou art! Who then shall stand before thee, because of the power of thine anger?

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

Out of the heavens, didst thou cause judgment to be heard, 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 rose up to judgment, To save all the oppressed of the earth. (Selah)

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 multitude of mankind shall give thanks unto thee, The remainder of the multitude, shall keep holy festival unto 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 and pay, unto Yahweh your God, —Let, all who are round about him, bear along a gift unto him who is to be revered.

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

He cutteth off the spirit of nobles, he is of reverend majesty to the kings of the earth.
