Psalms 76

1 “For the leader of the music. Upon stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph.” In Judah is God known; Great is his name in Israel.

In finem, in laudibus. Psalmus Asaph, canticum ad Assyrios. [Notus in Judæa Deus; in Israël magnum nomen ejus.

2 In Jerusalem is his tabernacle, And in Zion his dwelling-place.

Et factus est in pace locus ejus, et habitatio ejus in Sion.

3 There brake he the lightning of the bow, The shield, the sword, and all the weapons of battle.

Ibi confregit potentias arcuum, scutum, gladium, et bellum.

4 More glorious and excellent art thou Than those mountains of robbers!

Illuminans tu mirabiliter a montibus æternis;

5 Spoiled are the stout-hearted; They sank into their sleep; The hands of the mighty were powerless.

turbati sunt omnes insipientes corde. Dormierunt somnum suum, et nihil invenerunt omnes viri divitiarum in manibus suis.

6 Before thy rebuke, O God of Jacob! Fell chariot and horseman into a deep sleep!

Ab increpatione tua, Deus Jacob, dormitaverunt qui ascenderunt equos.

7 Thou, thou, O God! art terrible! Who can stand before thee in thine anger?

Tu terribilis es; et quis resistet tibi? ex tunc ira tua.

8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; The earth trembled and was still,

De cælo auditum fecisti judicium: terra tremuit et quievit

9 When God arose to judgment, To save all the oppressed of the earth!

cum exsurgeret in judicium Deus, ut salvos faceret omnes mansuetos terræ.

10 The wrath of man shall praise thee, When thou girdest on the whole of thy wrath!

Quoniam cogitatio hominis confitebitur tibi, et reliquiæ cogitationis diem festum agent tibi.

11 Make and perform vows to Jehovah, your God! Let all that dwell around him bring gifts to the terrible One,

Vovete et reddite Domino Deo vestro, omnes qui in circuitu ejus affertis munera: terribili,

12 Who casteth down the pride of princes, Who is terrible to the kings of the earth!

et ei qui aufert spiritum principum: terribili apud reges terræ.]
