Psalms 76

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

TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. A PSALM OF ASAPH. A SONG. God [is] known in Judah, His Name [is] great in Israel.

2 And his abode is in Salem, and his lair in Zion.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

9 when God arose to judgment, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. (Selah)

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

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

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

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

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

12 He humbles the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.

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