Psalms 76

1 For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. In Judah is God known; His name is great in Israel.

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

2 In Salem also is set His tabernacle, and His dwelling-place in Zion.

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

3 There He broke the fiery shafts of the bow; the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Selah)

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

4 Glorious art Thou and excellent, coming down from the mountains of prey.

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

5 The stout-hearted are bereft of sense, they sleep their sleep; and none of the men of might have found their hands.

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

6 At Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they are cast into a dead sleep, the riders also and the horses.

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

7 Thou, even Thou, art terrible; and who may stand in Thy sight when once Thou art angry?

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

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

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

9 When God arose to judgment, to save all the humble of the earth. (Selah)

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

10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise Thee; the residue of wrath shalt Thou gird upon Thee.

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

11 Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God; let all that are round about Him bring presents unto Him that is to be feared;

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.

12 He minisheth the spirit of princes; He is terrible to the kings of the earth.

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