Psalms 76

1 For the chief musician, on stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph, a song. God has made himself known in Judah; his name is great in Israel.

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 tent is in Salem; his dwelling place is in Zion.

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

3 There he broke the arrows of the bow, the shield, the sword, and the other weapons of war. (Selah)

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

4 You shine brightly and reveal your glory, as you descend from the mountains, where you killed your victims.

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

5 The bravehearted were plundered; they fell asleep. All the warriors were helpless.

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, both rider and horse fell asleep.

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

7 You, yes 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 From heaven you made your judgment heard; the earth was afraid and silent

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

9 when you, God, arose to execute judgment and 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 Surely your angry judgment against humanity will bring you praise; you gird yourself with what is left of your anger.

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

11 Make vows to Yahweh your God and keep them. May all who surround him bring gifts 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 cuts off the spirit of the 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.
