Psalms 76
1 In Judah [Praised], God is known. His name is great in Israel [God prevails].
“For the leader of the music. Upon stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph.” In Judah is God known; Great is his name in Israel.
2 His tabernacle is also in Salem [Complete peace, Perfect peace]; His dwelling place in Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking].
In Jerusalem is his tabernacle, And in Zion his dwelling-place.
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 lightning of the bow, The shield, the sword, and all the weapons of battle.
4 Glorious are you, and excellent, more than mountains of game.
More glorious and excellent art thou Than those mountains of robbers!
5 Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.
Spoiled are the stout-hearted; They sank into their sleep; The hands of the mighty were powerless.
6 At your rebuke, God of Jacob [Supplanter], both chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep.
Before thy rebuke, O God of Jacob! Fell chariot and horseman into a deep sleep!
7 You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?
Thou, thou, O God! art terrible! Who can stand before thee in thine anger?
8 You pronounced judgment to be sh'ma ·heard obeyed· from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent,
Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; The earth trembled and was still,
9 when God arose to judgment, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
When God arose to judgment, To save all the oppressed of the earth!
10 Surely the wrath of man yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.
The wrath of man shall praise thee, When thou girdest on the whole of thy wrath!
11 Make vows to Adonai your God, and fulfill them! Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.
Make and perform vows to Jehovah, your God! Let all that dwell around him bring gifts to the terrible One,
12 He will cut off the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.
Who casteth down the pride of princes, Who is terrible to the kings of the earth!
