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.

Unto the end. With Praises. A Psalm of Asaph. A Canticle to the Assyrians. In Judea, God is known. In Israel, his name is great.

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

And his place has been formed with peace. And his dwelling place is in Zion.

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

In that place, he has broken the powers of the bows, the shield, the sword, and the battle.

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

You illuminate wondrously from the mountains of eternity.

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

All the foolish of heart have been disturbed. They have slept their sleep, and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.

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

At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, those who were mounted on horseback have fallen asleep.

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

You are terrible, and so, who can withstand you? From thence is your wrath.

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

You have caused judgment to be heard from heaven. The earth trembled and was quieted,

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

when God rose up in judgment in order to bring salvation to all the meek of the earth.

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

For the thinking of man will confess to you, and the legacy of his thinking will keep a feast day to you.

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.

Make vows and pay them to the Lord, your God. All you who surround him bring gifts: to him who is terrible,

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

even to him who takes away the spirit of leaders, to him who is terrible with the kings of the earth.
