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 by Asaph. A song.] In Judah, God is known. His name is great in Israel.

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

And his abode is in Salem, and his lair in Zion.

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

There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. (Selah)

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

Glorious are you, and excellent, more than mountains of game.

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

Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.

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

At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep.

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

You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?

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

You pronounced judgment from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent,

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 afflicted ones 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 praises you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.

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 to Jehovah your God, and fulfill them. Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.

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

He humbles the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.
