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

2 And his place is maad in pees; and his dwellyng is in Syon.

And his abode is in Salem, and his lair in Zion.

3 Ther he brak poweris; bowe, scheeld, swerd, and batel.

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

4 And thou, God, liytnest wondirfuli fro euerlastynge hillis;

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

5 alle vnwise men of herte weren troblid. Thei slepten her sleep; and alle men founden no thing of richessis in her hondis.

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

6 Thei that stieden on horsis; slepten for thi blamyng, thou God of Jacob.

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

7 Thou art feerful, and who schal ayenstonde thee? fro that tyme thin ire.

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

8 Fro heuene thou madist doom herd; the erthe tremblide, and restide.

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

9 Whanne God roos vp in to doom; to make saaf al the mylde men of erthe.

when God arose to judgment, to save all the afflicted ones 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.

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

11 Make ye a vow, and yelde ye to youre Lord God; alle that bringen yiftis in the cumpas of it.

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

12 To God ferdful, and to him that takith awei the spirit of prynces; to the ferdful at the kyngis of erthe.

He humbles the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.
