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, in praises, a psalm for Asaph: a canticle to the Assyrians. In Judea God is known: his name is great in Israel.

2 And in Salem is his tent, and his dwelling-place in Zion.

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

3 There broke he the flashings of the bow, shield and sword and battle. (Selah)

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

4 More glorious art thou, more excellent, than the mountains of prey.

Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.

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

7 Thou, thou art to be feared, and who can stand before thee when once thou art angry?

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

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

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

9 When God rose up to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. (Selah)

When God arose in judgment, to save 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 thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.

11 Vow and pay unto Jehovah your God: let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that is to be feared.

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

12 He cutteth off the spirit of princes; [he] is terrible to the kings of the earth.

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