Psalms 76

1 For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm by Asaph. A song. In Judah, God is known. His name is great in Israel.

In Judah is Elohim known: his name is great in Israel.

2 His tabernacle is also in Salem. His dwelling place in Zion.

In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.

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

There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Selah)

4 Glorious are you, and excellent, more than mountains of game.

Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.

5 Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.

The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.

6 At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

At thy rebuke, O Elohim of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

7 You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?

Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?

8 You pronounced judgment from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent,

Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,

9 when God arose to judgment, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. (Selah)

When Elohim arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. (Selah)

10 Surely the wrath of man praises you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.

Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.

11 Make vows to the LORD your God, and fulfill them! Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.

Vow, and pay unto YHWH your Elohim: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.

12 He will cut off the spirit of 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.
