< Psalms 76 >

1 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.
To the chief music-maker; put to Neginoth. A Psalm. Of Asaph. A Song. In Judah is the knowledge of God; his name is great in Israel,
2 And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:
In Salem is his tent, his resting-place in Zion.
3 There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battie.
There were the arrows of the bow broken, there he put an end to body-cover, sword, and fight. (Selah)
4 Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.
You are shining and full of glory, more than the eternal mountains.
5 All the foolish of heart were troubled. They have slept their sleep; and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.
Gone is the wealth of the strong, their last sleep has overcome them; the men of war have become feeble.
6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.
At the voice of your wrath, O God of Jacob, deep sleep has overcome carriage and horse.
7 Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.
You, you are to be feared; who may keep his place before you in the time of your wrath?
8 Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,
From heaven you gave your decision; the earth, in its fear, gave no sound,
9 When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.
When God took his place as judge, for the salvation of the poor on the earth. (Selah)
10 For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.
The ... will give you praise; the rest of ...
11 Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. To him that is terrible,
Give to the Lord your God what is his by right; let all who are round him give offerings to him who is to be feared.
12 Even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with the kings of the earth.
He puts an end to the wrath of rulers; he is feared by the kings of the earth.
