< Psalms 76 >

1 In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.
Unto the end, in praises, a psalm for Asaph: a canticle to the Assyrians. In Judea God is known: his name is great in Israel.
2 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.
And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:
3 There broke he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Selah)
There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battie.
4 You are more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.
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 were troubled. 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 thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.
7 You, even you, are to be feared: and who may stand in your sight when once you are angry?
Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.
8 You did cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,
9 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. (Selah)
When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.
10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise you: the remainder of wrath shall you restrain.
For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.
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.
Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. To him that is terrible,
12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
Even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with the kings of the earth.
