Psalms 76

1 People in Judah know God; the Israeli people honor him [MTY].

Unto the end. With Praises. A Psalm of Asaph. A Canticle to the Assyrians. In Judea, God is known. In Israel, his name is great.

2 His home is in Jerusalem; he lives on Zion [Hill].

And his place has been formed with peace. And his dwelling place is in Zion.

3 There he broke the flaming arrows [that his enemies shot], [and he also broke] their shields and swords and other weapons that they used in battles.

In that place, he has broken the powers of the bows, the shield, the sword, and the battle.

4 God, you are glorious! You are like a king [as you return from] the mountains [where you defeated your enemies].

You illuminate wondrously from the mountains of eternity.

5 Their brave soldiers [were killed, and then those who killed them] took away everything that those soldiers had. Those enemies died [EUP], [so] they were unable to use their weapons [any more]!

All the foolish of heart have been disturbed. They have slept their sleep, and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.

6 When you, the God whom Jacob [worshiped], rebuked [your enemies], [the result was that their] horses and their riders fell down dead.

At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, those who were mounted on horseback have fallen asleep.

7 But you cause everyone to be afraid. When you are angry [and you punish people], no one can [RHQ] endure it.

You are terrible, and so, who can withstand you? From thence is your wrath.

8 From heaven you proclaimed that you would judge people, [and then everyone on] the earth was afraid and did not say [anything more],

You have caused judgment to be heard from heaven. The earth trembled and was quieted,

9 when you arose to declare that you would punish [wicked people] and rescue all those whom they had oppressed.

when God rose up in judgment in order to bring salvation to all the meek of the earth.

10 When [you punish those] with whom you are angry, your people will praise you, and [your enemies] who (survive/are not killed) will worship you on your festival days.

For the thinking of man will confess to you, and the legacy of his thinking will keep a feast day to you.

11 [So] give to Yahweh the offerings that you promised to give to him; all the people of nearby people-groups should also bring gifts to him, the one who is awesome.

Make vows and pay them to the Lord, your God. All you who surround him bring gifts: to him who is terrible,

12 He humbles [IDM] princes, and [even] causes [great] kings to be terrified.

even to him who takes away the spirit of leaders, to him who is terrible with the kings of the earth.
