< Psalmorum 76 >
1 Psalmus Asaph, in finem, in Laudibus, canticum ad Assyrios. Notus in Iudaea Deus: in Israel magnum nomen eius.
“To the chief musician on Neginoth, a psalm or song of Assaph.” In Judah hath God been made known: in Israel is his name great.
2 Et factus est in pace locus eius: et habitatio eius in Sion.
And in Salem was his tabernacle made, and his dwelling-place in Zion.
3 Ibi confregit potentias arcum, scutum, gladium, et bellum.
There broke he the shining arrows of the bow, shield, and sword, and battle. (Selah)
4 Illuminans tu mirabiliter a montibus aeternis:
Thou art more brilliant, more excellent than the mountains [full] of prey.
5 turbati sunt omnes insipientes corde. Dormierunt somnum suum: et nihil invenerunt omnes viri divitiarum in manibus suis.
Bereft of reason are the stouthearted, they slumber their sleep: and none of the men of might have found [the use of] their hands.
6 Ab increpatione tua Deus Iacob dormitaverunt qui ascenderunt equos.
From thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, lie in deep sleep both chariot and horse.
7 Tu terribilis es, et quis resistet tibi? ex tunc ira tua.
Thou—thou art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thy anger [is kindled]?
8 De caelo auditum fecisti iudicium: terra tremuit et quievit,
From heaven hast thou caused [thy] sentence to be heard: the earth feared, and became still,
9 Cum exurgeret in iudicium Deus, ut salvos faceret omnes mansuetos terrae.
When God rose to judgment, to save all the lowly of the earth. (Selah)
10 Quoniam cogitatio hominis confitebitur tibi: et reliquiae cogitationis diem festum agent tibi.
For the fury of man shall praise thee: the remainder of the fury wilt thou gird about thee.
11 Vovete, et reddite Domino Deo vestro: omnes qui in circuitu eius affertis munera. Terribili
Make vows, and pay [them] unto the Lord your God, all ye that are round about him: let men bring presents unto him that exciteth fear.
12 et ei qui aufert spiritum principum, terribili apud reges terrae.
He will cut down the spirit of the powerful: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
