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.

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A song. God is known in Judah; His name is great in Israel.

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

His tent is in Salem, His dwelling place in Zion.

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

There He shattered the flaming arrows, the shield and sword and weapons of war.

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

You are resplendent with light, more majestic than mountains filled with game.

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

The valiant lie plundered; they sleep their last sleep. No men of might could lift a hand.

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

At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both horse and rider lie stunned.

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

You alone are to be feared. When You are angry, who can stand before You?

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

From heaven You pronounced judgment, and the earth feared and was still

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

when God rose up to judge, to save all the lowly of the earth.

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

Even the wrath of man shall praise You; with the survivors of wrath You will clothe Yourself.

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

Make and fulfill your vows to the LORD your God; let all the neighboring lands bring tribute to Him who is to be feared.

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

He breaks the spirits of princes; He is feared by the kings of the earth.
