Psalms 76

1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm [or] Song of Asaph. 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 brake 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 Thou [art] 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 thy 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 Thou, [even] thou, [art] to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?

Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.

8 Thou didst 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 thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou 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 unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto 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.
