Psalmorum 76

1 In finem, in laudibus. Psalmus Asaph, canticum ad Assyrios. [Notus in Judæa Deus; in Israël magnum nomen ejus.

“For the leader of the music. Upon stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph.” In Judah is God known; Great is his name in Israel.

2 Et factus est in pace locus ejus, et habitatio ejus in Sion.

In Jerusalem is his tabernacle, And in Zion his dwelling-place.

3 Ibi confregit potentias arcuum, scutum, gladium, et bellum.

There brake he the lightning of the bow, The shield, the sword, and all the weapons of battle.

4 Illuminans tu mirabiliter a montibus æternis;

More glorious and excellent art thou Than those mountains of robbers!

5 turbati sunt omnes insipientes corde. Dormierunt somnum suum, et nihil invenerunt omnes viri divitiarum in manibus suis.

Spoiled are the stout-hearted; They sank into their sleep; The hands of the mighty were powerless.

6 Ab increpatione tua, Deus Jacob, dormitaverunt qui ascenderunt equos.

Before thy rebuke, O God of Jacob! Fell chariot and horseman into a deep sleep!

7 Tu terribilis es; et quis resistet tibi? ex tunc ira tua.

Thou, thou, O God! art terrible! Who can stand before thee in thine anger?

8 De cælo auditum fecisti judicium: terra tremuit et quievit

Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; The earth trembled and was still,

9 cum exsurgeret in judicium Deus, ut salvos faceret omnes mansuetos terræ.

When God arose to judgment, To save all the oppressed of the earth!

10 Quoniam cogitatio hominis confitebitur tibi, et reliquiæ cogitationis diem festum agent tibi.

The wrath of man shall praise thee, When thou girdest on the whole of thy wrath!

11 Vovete et reddite Domino Deo vestro, omnes qui in circuitu ejus affertis munera: terribili,

Make and perform vows to Jehovah, your God! Let all that dwell around him bring gifts to the terrible One,

12 et ei qui aufert spiritum principum: terribili apud reges terræ.]

Who casteth down the pride of princes, Who is terrible to the kings of the earth!
