Psalms 76

1 “To the chief musician on Neginoth, a psalm or song of Assaph.” In Judah hath God been made known: in Israel is his name great.

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 And in Salem was his tabernacle made, and his dwelling-place in Zion.

And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:

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

There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battie.

4 Thou art more brilliant, more excellent than the mountains [full] of prey.

Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.

5 Bereft of reason are the stouthearted, they slumber their sleep: and none of the men of might have found [the use of] 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 From thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, lie in deep sleep both chariot and horse.

At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.

7 Thou—thou art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thy anger [is kindled]?

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

8 From heaven hast thou caused [thy] sentence to be heard: the earth feared, and became still,

Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,

9 When God rose to judgment, to save all the lowly of the earth. (Selah)

When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.

10 For the fury of man shall praise thee: the remainder of the fury wilt thou gird about thee.

For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.

11 Make vows, and pay [them] unto the Lord your God, all ye that are round about him: let men bring presents unto him that exciteth fear.

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 will cut down the spirit of the powerful: 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.
