Psalms 76

1 In Judah is Elohim known: his name is great in Israel.

In Judah [Praised], God is known. His name is great in Israel [God prevails].

2 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.

His tabernacle is also in Salem [Complete peace, Perfect peace]; His dwelling place in Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking].

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

There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

4 Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.

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

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

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

7 Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?

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

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

You pronounced judgment to be sh'ma ·heard obeyed· from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent,

9 When Elohim arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. (Selah)

when God arose to judgment, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.

Surely the wrath of man yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.

11 Vow, and pay unto YHWH your Elohim: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.

Make vows to Adonai 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 will cut off the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.
