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 end, among the Hymns, a Psalm for Asaph; a Song for the Assyrian. God is known in Judea: his name is great in Israel.
2 For in Shalem is his Tabernacle, and his dwelling in Zion.
And his place has been in peace, and his dwelling-place in Sion.
3 There brake he the arrowes of the bowe, the shielde and the sword and the battell. (Selah)
There he broke the power of the bows, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Pause)
4 Thou art more bright and puissant, then the mountaines of pray.
Thou dost wonderfully shine forth from the everlasting mountains.
5 The stout hearted are spoyled: they haue slept their sleepe, and all the men of strength haue not found their hands.
All the simple ones in heart were troubled; all the men of wealth have slept their sleep, and have found nothing in 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, the riders on horses slumbered.
7 Thou, euen thou art to be feared: and who shall stand in thy sight, when thou art angrie!
Thou art terrible; and who shall withstand thee, because of thine anger?
8 Thou didest cause thy iudgement to bee heard from heauen: therefore the earth feared and was still,
Thou didst cause judgment 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 in heart. (Pause)
10 Surely the rage of man shall turne to thy praise: the remnant of the rage shalt thou restrayne.
For the inward thought of man shall give thanks to thee: and the memorial of his inward thought shall keep a feast to 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 [your vows] to the Lord our God; all that are round about him shall bring gifts, [even] to him that is terrible,
12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the Kings of the earth.
and that takes away the spirits of princes; to him that is terrible among the kings of the earth.
