< Psalms 76 >

1 To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph: a Song. In Judah is God known, his name is great in Israel;
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.
2 And in Salem is his tent, and his dwelling-place in Zion.
And his place has been formed with peace. And his dwelling place is in Zion.
3 There broke he the flashings of the bow, shield and sword and battle. (Selah)
In that place, he has broken the powers of the bows, the shield, the sword, and the battle.
4 More glorious art thou, more excellent, than the mountains of prey.
You illuminate wondrously from the mountains of eternity.
5 The stout-hearted are made a spoil, they have slept their sleep; and none of the men of might have found their hands.
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.
6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, those who were mounted on horseback have fallen asleep.
7 Thou, thou art to be feared, and who can stand before thee when once thou art angry?
You are terrible, and so, who can withstand you? From thence is your wrath.
8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from the heavens; the earth feared, and was still,
You have caused judgment to be heard from heaven. The earth trembled and was quieted,
9 When God rose up to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. (Selah)
when God rose up in judgment in order to bring salvation to all the meek of the earth.
10 For the fury of man shall praise thee; the remainder of fury wilt thou gird on thyself.
For the thinking of man will confess to you, and the legacy of his thinking will keep a feast day to you.
11 Vow and pay unto Jehovah your God: let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that is to be feared.
Make vows and pay them to the Lord, your God. All you who surround him bring gifts: to him who is terrible,
12 He cutteth off the spirit of princes; [he] is terrible to the kings of the earth.
even to him who takes away the spirit of leaders, to him who is terrible with the kings of the earth.
