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 Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. In Judah is God known; His name is great in Israel.

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

In Salem also is set 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 fiery shafts of the bow; the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Selah)

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

Glorious art Thou and excellent, coming down from 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 stout-hearted are bereft of sense, they sleep 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, they are cast into a dead sleep, the riders also and the horses.

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

Thou, even Thou, art terrible; and who may stand in Thy sight when once Thou art angry?

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

Thou didst cause 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 humble of the earth. (Selah)

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

Surely the wrath of man shall praise Thee; the residue of wrath shalt Thou gird upon Thee.

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

Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God; let all that are round about Him bring presents unto Him that is to be feared;

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

He minisheth the spirit of princes; He is terrible to the kings of the earth.
