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 OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. A PSALM OF ASAPH. A SONG. God [is] known in Judah, His Name [is] great in Israel.

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

And His dwelling place is in Salem, And His habitation in Zion.

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

There He has shattered arrows of a bow, Shield, and sword, and battle. (Selah)

4 Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.

You [are] bright, majestic above hills 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 mighty of heart have spoiled themselves, They have slept their sleep, And none of the men of might found their hands.

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

From Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse have been fast asleep.

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

You, fearful [are] You, And who stands before You, Since You have been angry?

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

You have sounded judgment from the heavens, Earth has feared, and has been still,

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

In the rising of God to judgment, To save all the humble of earth. (Selah)

10 For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.

For the fierceness of man praises You, You gird on the remnant of fierceness.

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 complete to your God YHWH, All you surrounding Him, They bring presents to the Fearful One.

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

He gathers the spirit of leaders, Fearful to the kings of earth!
