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.
People in Judah know God; the Israeli people honor him [MTY].
2 And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:
His home is in Jerusalem; he lives on Zion [Hill].
3 There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battie.
There he broke the flaming arrows [that his enemies shot], [and he also broke] their shields and swords and other weapons that they used in battles.
4 Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.
God, you are glorious! You are like a king [as you return from] the mountains [where you defeated your enemies].
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.
Their brave soldiers [were killed, and then those who killed them] took away everything that those soldiers had. Those enemies died [EUP], [so] they were unable to use their weapons [any more]!
6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.
When you, the God whom Jacob [worshiped], rebuked [your enemies], [the result was that their] horses and their riders fell down dead.
7 Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.
But you cause everyone to be afraid. When you are angry [and you punish people], no one can [RHQ] endure it.
8 Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,
From heaven you proclaimed that you would judge people, [and then everyone on] the earth was afraid and did not say [anything more],
9 When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.
when you arose to declare that you would punish [wicked people] and rescue all those whom they had oppressed.
10 For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.
When [you punish those] with whom you are angry, your people will praise you, and [your enemies] who (survive/are not killed) will worship you on your festival days.
11 Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. To him that is terrible,
[So] give to Yahweh the offerings that you promised to give to him; all the people of nearby people-groups should also bring gifts to him, the one who is awesome.
12 Even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with the kings of the earth.
He humbles [IDM] princes, and [even] causes [great] kings to be terrified.
