< Psalms 76 >

1 People in Judah know God; the Israeli people honor him [MTY].
לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ בִּנְגִינֹ֑ת מִזְמֹ֖ור לְאָסָ֣ף שִֽׁיר׃ נֹודָ֣ע בִּֽיהוּדָ֣ה אֱלֹהִ֑ים בְּ֝יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל גָּדֹ֥ול שְׁמֹֽו׃
2 His home is in Jerusalem; he lives on Zion [Hill].
וַיְהִ֣י בְשָׁלֵ֣ם סֻכֹּ֑ו וּמְעֹ֖ונָתֹ֣ו בְצִיֹּֽון׃
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.
שָׁ֭מָּה שִׁבַּ֣ר רִשְׁפֵי־קָ֑שֶׁת מָגֵ֬ן וְחֶ֖רֶב וּמִלְחָמָ֣ה סֶֽלָה׃
4 God, you are glorious! You are like a king [as you return from] the mountains [where you defeated your enemies].
נָ֭אֹור אַתָּ֥ה אַדִּ֗יר מֵֽהַרְרֵי־טָֽרֶף׃
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]!
אֶשְׁתֹּולְל֨וּ ׀ אַבִּ֣ירֵי לֵ֭ב נָמ֣וּ שְׁנָתָ֑ם וְלֹא־מָצְא֖וּ כָל־אַנְשֵׁי־חַ֣יִל יְדֵיהֶֽם׃
6 When you, the God whom Jacob [worshiped], rebuked [your enemies], [the result was that their] horses and their riders fell down dead.
מִ֭גַּעֲרָ֣תְךָ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יַעֲקֹ֑ב נִ֝רְדָּ֗ם וְרֶ֣כֶב וָסֽוּס׃
7 But you cause everyone to be afraid. When you are angry [and you punish people], no one can [RHQ] endure it.
אַתָּ֤ה ׀ נֹ֥ורָא אַ֗תָּה וּמִֽי־יַעֲמֹ֥ד לְפָנֶ֗יךָ מֵאָ֥ז אַפֶּֽךָ׃
8 From heaven you proclaimed that you would judge people, [and then everyone on] the earth was afraid and did not say [anything more],
מִ֭שָּׁמַיִם הִשְׁמַ֣עְתָּ דִּ֑ין אֶ֖רֶץ יָֽרְאָ֣ה וְשָׁקָֽטָה׃
9 when you arose to declare that you would punish [wicked people] and rescue all those whom they had oppressed.
בְּקוּם־לַמִּשְׁפָּ֥ט אֱלֹהִ֑ים לְהֹושִׁ֖יעַ כָּל־עַנְוֵי־אֶ֣רֶץ סֶֽלָה׃
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.
כִּֽי־חֲמַ֣ת אָדָ֣ם תֹּודֶ֑ךָּ שְׁאֵרִ֖ית חֵמֹ֣ת תַּחְגֹּֽר׃
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.
נִֽדֲר֣וּ וְשַׁלְּמוּ֮ לַיהוָ֪ה אֱ‍ֽלֹהֵ֫יכֶ֥ם כָּל־סְבִיבָ֑יו יֹובִ֥ילוּ שַׁ֝֗י לַמֹּורָֽא׃
12 He humbles [IDM] princes, and [even] causes [great] kings to be terrified.
יִ֭בְצֹר ר֣וּחַ נְגִידִ֑ים נֹ֝ורָ֗א לְמַלְכֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃
