< Psalms 76 >

1 In Judah [Praised], God is known. His name is great in Israel [God prevails].
To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme or song committed to Asaph. God is knowen in Iudah: his Name is great in Israel.
2 His tabernacle is also in Salem [Complete peace, Perfect peace]; His dwelling place in Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking].
For in Shalem is his Tabernacle, and his dwelling in Zion.
3 There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
There brake he the arrowes of the bowe, the shielde and the sword and the battell. (Selah)
4 Glorious are you, and excellent, more than mountains of game.
Thou art more bright and puissant, then the mountaines of pray.
5 Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.
The stout hearted are spoyled: they haue slept their sleepe, and all the men of strength haue not found their hands.
6 At your rebuke, God of Jacob [Supplanter], both chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep.
At thy rebuke, O God of Iaakob, both the chariot and horse are cast a sleepe.
7 You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?
Thou, euen thou art to be feared: and who shall stand in thy sight, when thou art angrie!
8 You pronounced judgment to be sh'ma ·heard obeyed· from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent,
Thou didest cause thy iudgement to bee heard from heauen: therefore the earth feared and was still,
9 when God arose to judgment, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
When thou, O God, arose to iudgement, to helpe all the meeke of the earth. (Selah)
10 Surely the wrath of man yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.
Surely the rage of man shall turne to thy praise: the remnant of the rage shalt thou restrayne.
11 Make vows to Adonai your God, and fulfill them! Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.
Vowe and performe vnto the Lord your God, all ye that be rounde about him: let them bring presents vnto him that ought to be feared.
12 He will cut off the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.
He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the Kings of the earth.
