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.

To the Chief Musician. With Stringed Instruments. A Melody of Asaph, a Song. God is, known in Judah, In Israel, great is his Name;

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

Now hath come into Salem, his pavilion, And his dwelling-place into Zion.

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

There, hath he broken in pieces the arrows of the bow, shield and sword, and battle. (Selah)

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

Enveloped in light, thou, art more majestic 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 valiant of heart have become a spoil, They have slumbered 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 God of Jacob, Stunned are the horsemen.

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

As for thee, to be feared thou art! Who then shall stand before thee, because of the power of thine anger?

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

Out of the heavens, didst thou cause judgment to be heard, Earth, feared and was still:

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

When God rose up to judgment, To save all the oppressed of the earth. (Selah)

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

For the multitude of mankind shall give thanks unto thee, The remainder of the multitude, shall keep holy festival unto thee.

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 Yahweh your God, —Let, all who are round about him, bear along a gift unto him who is to be revered.

12 He will cut off the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.

He cutteth off the spirit of nobles, he is of reverend majesty to the kings of the earth.
