Psalms 76

1 To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme or song committed to Asaph. God is knowen in Iudah: his Name is great in Israel.

For the leader. With instrumental music. A psalm of Asaph, a song. God has made himself known in Judah, his name is great in Israel.

2 For in Shalem is his Tabernacle, and his dwelling in Zion.

His tent is in Salem, his dwelling in Zion.

3 There brake he the arrowes of the bowe, the shielde and the sword and the battell. (Selah)

There he broke the lightning arrows, shield, sword, and weapons of war. (Selah)

4 Thou art more bright and puissant, then the mountaines of pray.

Terrible is your splendor on the everlasting mountains.

5 The stout hearted are spoyled: they haue slept their sleepe, and all the men of strength haue not found their hands.

Despoiled were the stout of heart; in the sleep into which they had fallen, none of the warriors could lift a hand.

6 At thy rebuke, O God of Iaakob, both the chariot and horse are cast a sleepe.

At your rebuke, God of Jacob, sank chariot and horse to sleep.

7 Thou, euen thou art to be feared: and who shall stand in thy sight, when thou art angrie!

Awful are you: who can stand before you, when once you are angry?

8 Thou didest cause thy iudgement to bee heard from heauen: therefore the earth feared and was still,

The judgment you gave from heaven frightened the earth into silence,

9 When thou, O God, arose to iudgement, to helpe all the meeke of the earth. (Selah)

when God arose to judgment to save the oppressed of the earth. (Selah)

10 Surely the rage of man shall turne to thy praise: the remnant of the rage shalt thou restrayne.

The fiercest will praise you, to you will the remnant hold festival.

11 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.

Vow and pay to Lord your God, and let all who are round him bring presents.

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

He lops off the courage of princes, and with terror fills kings of the earth.
