Psalms 76

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

In Judah God is known. His name is great in Israel.

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

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

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

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

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

Thou are more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.

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

The stouthearted are made a spoil. They have slept their sleep, and none of the men of might have found their hands.

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

At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep.

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

Thou, even thou, are to be feared. And who may stand in thy sight when once thou are angry?

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

Thou caused sentence to be heard from heaven. The earth feared and was still

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

when God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. (Selah)

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

Surely the inward thought of man shall praise thee, even the residue of inward thought will observe a festival to thee.

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

Vow, and pay to Jehovah your God. Let all who are round about him bring presents to him who ought to be feared.

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

He will cut off the spirit of rulers. He is fearful to the kings of the earth.
