Psalms 76

1 To the Chief Musician. With Stringed Instruments. A Melody of Asaph, a Song. God is, known in Judah, In Israel, great is his Name;

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 Now hath come into Salem, his pavilion, And his dwelling-place into Zion.

For in Shalem is his Tabernacle, and his dwelling in Zion.

3 There, hath he broken in pieces the arrows of the bow, shield and sword, and battle. (Selah)

There brake he the arrowes of the bowe, the shielde and the sword and the battell. (Selah)

4 Enveloped in light, thou, art more majestic than the mountains of prey.

Thou art more bright and puissant, then the mountaines of pray.

5 The valiant of heart have become a spoil, They have slumbered their sleep, And none of the men of might have found 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 thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Stunned are the horsemen.

At thy rebuke, O God of Iaakob, both the chariot and horse are cast a sleepe.

7 As for thee, to be feared thou art! Who then shall stand before thee, because of the power of thine anger?

Thou, euen thou art to be feared: and who shall stand in thy sight, when thou art angrie!

8 Out of the heavens, didst thou cause judgment to be heard, Earth, feared and was still:

Thou didest cause thy iudgement to bee heard from heauen: therefore the earth feared and was still,

9 When God rose up to judgment, To save all the oppressed of the earth. (Selah)

When thou, O God, arose to iudgement, to helpe all the meeke of the earth. (Selah)

10 For the multitude of mankind shall give thanks unto thee, The remainder of the multitude, shall keep holy festival unto thee.

Surely the rage of man shall turne to thy praise: the remnant of the rage shalt thou restrayne.

11 Vow and pay, unto Yahweh your God, —Let, all who are round about him, bear along a gift unto him who is to be revered.

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 cutteth off the spirit of nobles, he is of reverend majesty to the kings of the earth.

He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the Kings of the earth.
