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.

To 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.

And in Salem is his tent, 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 broke he the flashings of the bow, shield and sword and battle. (Selah)

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

More glorious art thou, more excellent, than 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 stout-hearted 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, thou art to be feared, and who can stand before thee 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 judgment to be heard from the heavens; 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 rose up 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.

For the fury of man shall praise thee; the remainder of fury wilt thou gird on thyself.

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 is to be feared.

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

He cutteth off the spirit of princes; [he] is terrible to the kings of the earth.
