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.

In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.

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

In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.

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

There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Selah)

4 Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.

You are more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.

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.

The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.

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

At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

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

You, even you, are to be feared: and who may stand in your sight when once you are angry?

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

You did cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,

9 When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.

When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of 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.

Surely the wrath of man shall praise you: the remainder of wrath shall you restrain.

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

Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.

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

He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
