Psalms 76
1 To the victorie in orguns, `the salm of the song of Asaph. God is knowun in Judee; his name is greet in Israel.
For the music director. To be accompanied by stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song. God is famous in Judah; his reputation is great throughout Israel.
2 And his place is maad in pees; and his dwellyng is in Syon.
He lives in Jerusalem; his home is in Zion.
3 Ther he brak poweris; bowe, scheeld, swerd, and batel.
There he broke the flaming arrows, the shields, the swords, and the weapons of war. (Selah)
4 And thou, God, liytnest wondirfuli fro euerlastynge hillis;
You shine with light; you are more majestic than the everlasting mountains.
5 alle vnwise men of herte weren troblid. Thei slepten her sleep; and alle men founden no thing of richessis in her hondis.
Our most courageous enemies have been plundered. They sleep the sleep of death. Even the strongest of them could not raise a hand against us.
6 Thei that stieden on horsis; slepten for thi blamyng, thou God of Jacob.
At your command, God of Jacob, both horse and rider fell down dead.
7 Thou art feerful, and who schal ayenstonde thee? fro that tyme thin ire.
You are terrifying—who can stand before you when you are angry?
8 Fro heuene thou madist doom herd; the erthe tremblide, and restide.
From heaven you announced judgment. Everyone on earth was afraid and stood still,
9 Whanne God roos vp in to doom; to make saaf al the mylde men of erthe.
when you stood up to judge, to save the oppressed people of the earth. (Selah)
10 For the thouyt of man schal knouleche to thee; and the relifs of thouyt schulen make a feeste dai to thee.
Even human anger against you makes you look glorious, for you wear it alike a crown.
11 Make ye a vow, and yelde ye to youre Lord God; alle that bringen yiftis in the cumpas of it.
Make your promises to God and be sure to keep them. Everyone bring gifts to the awe-inspiring one.
12 To God ferdful, and to him that takith awei the spirit of prynces; to the ferdful at the kyngis of erthe.
For he humbles proud leaders; he terrifies the kings of the earth.
