Psalms 76

1 To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme or song committed to Asaph. God is knowen in Iudah: his Name is great in Israel.

For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. In Judah is God known: His name is great in Israel.

2 For in Shalem is his Tabernacle, and his dwelling in Zion.

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

3 There brake he the arrowes of the bowe, the shielde and the sword and the battell. (Selah)

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

4 Thou art more bright and puissant, then the mountaines of pray.

Glorious art thou [and] excellent, From the mountains of prey.

5 The stout hearted are spoyled: they haue slept their sleepe, and all the men of strength haue not found their hands.

The stouthearted are made a spoil, They have slept their sleep; And none of the men of might have found their hands.

6 At thy rebuke, O God of Iaakob, both the chariot and horse are cast a sleepe.

At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

7 Thou, euen thou art to be feared: and who shall stand in thy sight, when thou art angrie!

Thou, even thou, art to be feared; And who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?

8 Thou didest cause thy iudgement to bee heard from heauen: therefore the earth feared and was still,

Thou didst cause sentence to be heard from heaven; The earth feared, and was still,

9 When thou, O God, arose to iudgement, to helpe all the meeke of the earth. (Selah)

When God arose to judgment, To save all the meek of the earth. (Selah)

10 Surely the rage of man shall turne to thy praise: the remnant of the rage shalt thou restrayne.

Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: The residue of wrath shalt thou gird upon thee.

11 Vowe and performe vnto the Lord your God, all ye that be rounde about him: let them bring presents vnto him that ought to be feared.

Vow, and pay unto Jehovah your God: Let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.

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

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