Psalms 76

1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A song. God is known in Judah; His name is great in Israel.

1 In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.

2 His tent is in Salem, His dwelling place in Zion.

2 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.

3 There He shattered the flaming arrows, the shield and sword and weapons of war. Selah

3 There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.

4 You are resplendent with light, more majestic than mountains filled with game.

4 Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.

5 The valiant lie plundered; they sleep their last sleep. No men of might could lift a hand.

5 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.

6 At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both horse and rider lie stunned.

6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

7 You alone are to be feared. When You are angry, who can stand before You?

7 Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?

8 From heaven You pronounced judgment, and the earth feared and was still

8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,

9 when God rose up to judge, to save all the lowly of the earth. Selah

9 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.

10 Even the wrath of man shall praise You; with the survivors of wrath You will clothe Yourself.

10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.

11 Make and fulfill your vows to the LORD your God; let all the neighboring lands bring tribute to Him who is to be feared.

11 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 He breaks the spirits of princes; He is feared by the kings of the earth.

12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
