< Psalms 76 >

1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm [or] Song of Asaph. In Judah [is] God known: his name [is] great in Israel.
For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A song. God is known in Judah; His name is great in Israel.
2 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.
His tent is in Salem, His dwelling place in Zion.
3 There he broke the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Selah)
There He shattered the flaming arrows, the shield and sword and weapons of war.
4 Thou [art] more glorious [and] excellent than the mountains of prey.
You are resplendent with light, more majestic than mountains filled with game.
5 The stout-hearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.
The valiant lie plundered; they sleep their last sleep. No men of might could lift a hand.
6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both horse and rider lie stunned.
7 Thou, [even] thou, [art] to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
You alone are to be feared. When You are angry, who can stand before You?
8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
From heaven You pronounced judgment, and the earth feared and was still
9 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. (Selah)
when God rose up to judge, to save all the lowly of the earth.
10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath wilt thou restrain.
Even the wrath of man shall praise You; with the survivors of wrath You will clothe Yourself.
11 Vow, and pay to the LORD your God: let all that are about him bring presents to him that ought to be feared.
Make and fulfill your vows to the LORD your God; let all the neighboring lands bring tribute to Him who is to be feared.
12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: [he is] terrible to the kings of the earth.
He breaks the spirits of princes; He is feared by the kings of the earth.
