Psalmorum 76

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

For the end, amongst the Hymns, a Psalm for Asaph; a Song for the Assyrian. God is known in Judea: his name is great in Israel.

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

And his place has been in peace, and his dwelling-place in Sion.

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

There he broke the power of the bows, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Pause)

4 Illuminans tu mirabiliter a montibus æternis;

You do wonderfully shine forth from the everlasting mountains.

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

All the simple ones in heart were troubled; all the men of wealth have slept their sleep, and have found nothing in their hands.

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

At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, the riders on horses slumbered.

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

You are terrible; and who shall withstand you, because of your anger?

8 De cælo auditum fecisti judicium: terra tremuit et quievit

You did cause judgement to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,

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

when God arose to judgement, to save all the meek in heart. (Pause)

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

For the inward thought of man shall give thanks to you: and the memorial of his inward thought shall keep a feast to you.

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

Vow, and pay [your vows] to the Lord our God; all that are round about him shall bring gifts, [even] to him that is terrible,

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

and that takes away the spirits of princes; to him that is terrible amongst the kings of the earth.
