Psalms 76

1 For the end, among the Hymns, a Psalm for Asaph; a Song for the Assyrian. God is known in Judea: 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 And his place has been in peace, and his dwelling-place in Sion.

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

3 There he broke the power of the bows, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Pause)

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

4 You do wonderfully shine forth from the everlasting mountains.

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

5 All the simple ones in heart were troubled; all the men of wealth have slept their sleep, and have found nothing in 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 your rebuke, O God of Jacob, the riders on horses slumbered.

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

7 You are terrible; and who shall withstand you, because of your anger?

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

8 You did cause judgment 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 meek in heart. (Pause)

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

10 For the inward thought of man shall give thanks to you: and the memorial of his inward thought shall keep a feast to you.

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

11 Vow, and pay [your vows] to the Lord our God; all that are round about him shall bring gifts, [even] to him that is terrible,

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 and that takes away the spirits of princes; to him that is terrible among the kings of the earth.

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