Psalms 76

1 In Judah is God known: 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 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.

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

3 There broke he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Selah)

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

4 You are more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.

You illuminate wondrously from the mountains of eternity.

5 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have 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 your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

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

7 You, even you, are to be feared: and who may stand in your sight when once you are angry?

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

8 You did cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,

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

9 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek 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 wrath of man shall praise you: the remainder of wrath shall you restrain.

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

11 Vow, and pay to the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents to 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.
