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.

To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme or song committed to Asaph. God is knowen in Iudah: his Name is great in Israel.

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

For in Shalem is his Tabernacle, and his dwelling in Zion.

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

There brake he the arrowes of the bowe, the shielde and the sword and the battell. (Selah)

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

Thou art more bright and puissant, then the mountaines of pray.

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

The stout hearted are spoyled: they haue slept their sleepe, and all the men of strength haue not 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 Iaakob, both the chariot and horse are cast a sleepe.

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

Thou, euen thou art to be feared: and who shall stand in thy sight, when thou art angrie!

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

Thou didest cause thy iudgement to bee heard from heauen: therefore the earth feared and was still,

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

When thou, O God, arose to iudgement, to helpe all the meeke of the earth. (Selah)

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

Surely the rage of man shall turne to thy praise: the remnant of the rage shalt thou restrayne.

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

Vowe and performe vnto the Lord your God, all ye that be rounde about him: let them bring presents vnto him that ought to be feared.

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

He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the Kings of the earth.
