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 Musician. With Stringed Instruments. A Melody of Asaph, a Song. God is, known in Judah, In Israel, great is his Name;

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

Now hath come into Salem, his pavilion, And his dwelling-place into Zion.

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

There, hath he broken in pieces the arrows of the bow, shield and sword, and battle. (Selah)

4 Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.

Enveloped in light, thou, art more majestic 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 valiant of heart have become a spoil, They have slumbered 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 thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Stunned are the horsemen.

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

As for thee, to be feared thou art! Who then shall stand before thee, because of the power of thine anger?

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

Out of the heavens, didst thou cause judgment to be heard, Earth, feared and was still:

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

When God rose up to judgment, To save all the oppressed 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.

For the multitude of mankind shall give thanks unto thee, The remainder of the multitude, shall keep holy festival unto thee.

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 Yahweh your God, —Let, all who are round about him, bear along a gift unto him who is to be revered.

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

He cutteth off the spirit of nobles, he is of reverend majesty to the kings of the earth.
