Psalms 76
1 To the Overseer with stringed instruments. — A Psalm of Asaph. — A Song. In Judah [is] God known, in Israel His name [is] great.
To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme or song committed to Asaph. God is knowen in Iudah: his Name is great in Israel.
2 And His tabernacle is in Salem, And His habitation in Zion.
For in Shalem is his Tabernacle, and his dwelling in Zion.
3 There he hath shivered arrows of a bow, Shield, and sword, and battle. (Selah)
There brake he the arrowes of the bowe, the shielde and the sword and the battell. (Selah)
4 Bright [art] Thou, honourable above hills of prey.
Thou art more bright and puissant, then the mountaines of pray.
5 Spoiled themselves have the mighty of heart, They have slept their sleep, And none of the men of might found their hands.
The stout hearted are spoyled: they haue slept their sleepe, and all the men of strength haue not found their hands.
6 From Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse have been fast asleep.
At thy rebuke, O God of Iaakob, both the chariot and horse are cast a sleepe.
7 Thou, fearful [art] Thou, And who doth stand before Thee, Since Thou hast been angry!
Thou, euen thou art to be feared: and who shall stand in thy sight, when thou art angrie!
8 From heaven Thou hast sounded judgment, Earth hath feared, and hath been still,
Thou didest cause thy iudgement to bee heard from heauen: therefore the earth feared and was still,
9 In the rising of God to judgment, To save all the humble of earth. (Selah)
When thou, O God, arose to iudgement, to helpe all the meeke of the earth. (Selah)
10 For the fierceness of man praiseth Thee, The remnant of fierceness Thou girdest on.
Surely the rage of man shall turne to thy praise: the remnant of the rage shalt thou restrayne.
11 Vow and complete to Jehovah your God, All ye surrounding him. They bring presents to the Fearful One.
Vowe and performe vnto the Lord your God, all ye that be rounde about him: let them bring presents vnto him that ought to be feared.
12 He doth gather the spirit of leaders, Fearful to the kings of earth!
He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the Kings of the earth.
