< 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 the Chief Musician. With Stringed Instruments. A Melody of Asaph, a Song. God is, known in Judah, In Israel, great is his Name;
2 And His dwelling place is in Salem, And His habitation in Zion.
Now hath come into Salem, his pavilion, And his dwelling-place into Zion.
3 There He has shattered arrows of a bow, Shield, and sword, and battle. (Selah)
There, hath he broken in pieces the arrows of the bow, shield and sword, and battle. (Selah)
4 You [are] bright, majestic above hills of prey.
Enveloped in light, thou, art more majestic 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 valiant of heart have become a spoil, They have slumbered 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, Stunned are the horsemen.
7 You, fearful [are] You, And who stands before You, Since You have been angry?
As for thee, to be feared thou art! Who then shall stand before thee, because of the power of thine anger?
8 You have sounded judgment from the heavens, Earth has feared, and has been still,
Out of the heavens, didst thou cause judgment to be heard, 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 judgment, To save all the oppressed of the earth. (Selah)
10 For the fierceness of man praises You, You gird on the remnant of fierceness.
For the multitude of mankind shall give thanks unto thee, The remainder of the multitude, shall keep holy festival unto thee.
11 Vow and complete to your God YHWH, All you surrounding Him, They bring presents to the Fearful One.
Vow and pay, unto Yahweh your God, —Let, all who are round about him, bear along a gift unto him who is to be revered.
12 He gathers the spirit of leaders, Fearful to the kings of earth!
He cutteth off the spirit of nobles, he is of reverend majesty to the kings of the earth.
