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.

Unto the end. With Praises. A Psalm of Asaph. A Canticle to the Assyrians. In Judea, God is known. In Israel, his name is great.

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

And his place has been formed with peace. And his dwelling place is in Zion.

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

In that place, he has broken the powers of the bows, the shield, the sword, and the battle.

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

You illuminate wondrously from the mountains of eternity.

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

All the foolish of heart have been disturbed. They have slept their sleep, and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.

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

At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, those who were mounted on horseback have fallen asleep.

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

You are terrible, and so, who can withstand you? From thence is your wrath.

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

You have caused judgment to be heard from heaven. The earth trembled and was quieted,

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

when God rose up in judgment in order to bring salvation to all the meek of the earth.

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

For the thinking of man will confess to you, and the legacy of his thinking will keep a feast day to you.

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

Make vows and pay them to the Lord, your God. All you who surround him bring gifts: to him who is terrible,

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

even to him who takes away the spirit of leaders, to him who is terrible with the kings of the earth.
