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.

TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. A PSALM OF ASAPH. A SONG. God [is] known in Judah, His Name [is] great in Israel.

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

And His dwelling place is in Salem, And His habitation in Zion.

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

There He has shattered arrows of a bow, Shield, and sword, and battle. (Selah)

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

You [are] bright, majestic above hills of prey.

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.

The mighty of heart have spoiled themselves, They have slept their sleep, And none of the men of might found their hands.

6 From thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, lie in deep sleep both chariot and horse.

From Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse have been fast asleep.

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

You, fearful [are] You, And who stands before You, Since You have been angry?

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

You have sounded judgment from the heavens, Earth has feared, and has been still,

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

In the rising of God to judgment, To save all the humble of earth. (Selah)

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

For the fierceness of man praises You, You gird on the remnant of fierceness.

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 and complete to your God YHWH, All you surrounding Him, They bring presents to the Fearful One.

12 He will cut down the spirit of the powerful: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.

He gathers the spirit of leaders, Fearful to the kings of earth!
