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 of Asaph, a Song. In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.
2 And his place is maad in pees; and his dwellyng is in Syon.
In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.
3 Ther he brak poweris; bowe, scheeld, swerd, and batel.
There he brake the arrows of the bow; the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Selah)
4 And thou, God, liytnest wondirfuli fro euerlastynge hillis;
Glorious art thou [and] excellent, from the mountains of prey.
5 alle vnwise men of herte weren troblid. Thei slepten her sleep; and alle men founden no thing of richessis in her hondis.
The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep; and none of the men of might have found their hands.
6 Thei that stieden on horsis; slepten for thi blamyng, thou God of Jacob.
At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
7 Thou art feerful, and who schal ayenstonde thee? fro that tyme thin ire.
Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
8 Fro heuene thou madist doom herd; the erthe tremblide, and restide.
Thou didst cause sentence to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
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 meek 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 shall praise thee: the residue of wrath shalt thou gird upon thee.
11 Make ye a vow, and yelde ye to youre Lord God; alle that bringen yiftis in the cumpas of it.
Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought 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 shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
