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 Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm by Asaph. A song. In Judah, God is known. His name is great in Israel.

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

His tabernacle is also in Salem. His dwelling place in Zion.

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

There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. (Selah)

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

Glorious are you, and excellent, more than mountains of game.

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

Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.

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

At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

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

You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?

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

You pronounced judgment from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent,

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 afflicted ones of the earth. (Selah)

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

Surely the wrath of man praises you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.

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

Make vows to the LORD your God, and fulfill them! Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.

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

He will cut off the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.
