Psalms 76
1 [For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm by Asaph. A song.] In Judah, God is known. His name is great in Israel.
To the Overseer with stringed instruments. — A Psalm of Asaph. — A Song. In Judah [is] God known, in Israel His name [is] great.
2 And his abode is in Salem, and his lair in Zion.
And His tabernacle is in Salem, And His habitation in Zion.
3 There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. (Selah)
There he hath shivered arrows of a bow, Shield, and sword, and battle. (Selah)
4 Glorious are you, and excellent, more than mountains of game.
Bright [art] Thou, honourable above hills of prey.
5 Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.
Spoiled themselves have the mighty of heart, They have slept their sleep, And none of the men of might found their hands.
6 At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep.
From Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse have been fast asleep.
7 You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?
Thou, fearful [art] Thou, And who doth stand before Thee, Since Thou hast been angry!
8 You pronounced judgment from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent,
From heaven Thou hast sounded judgment, Earth hath feared, and hath been still,
9 when God arose to judgment, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. (Selah)
In the rising of God to judgment, To save all the humble of earth. (Selah)
10 Surely the wrath of man praises you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.
For the fierceness of man praiseth Thee, The remnant of fierceness Thou girdest on.
11 Make vows to the LORD your God, and fulfill them. Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.
Vow and complete to Jehovah your God, All ye surrounding him. They bring presents to the Fearful One.
12 He humbles the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.
He doth gather the spirit of leaders, Fearful to the kings of earth!
