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 victorie in orguns, `the salm of the song of Asaph. God is knowun in Judee; his name is greet in Israel.

2 His tabernacle is also in Salem. His dwelling place in Zion.

And his place is maad in pees; and his dwellyng is in Syon.

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

Ther he brak poweris; bowe, scheeld, swerd, and batel.

4 Glorious are you, and excellent, more than mountains of game.

And thou, God, liytnest wondirfuli fro euerlastynge hillis;

5 Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.

alle vnwise men of herte weren troblid. Thei slepten her sleep; and alle men founden no thing of richessis in her hondis.

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

Thei that stieden on horsis; slepten for thi blamyng, thou God of Jacob.

7 You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?

Thou art feerful, and who schal ayenstonde thee? fro that tyme thin ire.

8 You pronounced judgment from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent,

Fro heuene thou madist doom herd; the erthe tremblide, and restide.

9 when God arose to judgment, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. (Selah)

Whanne God roos vp in to doom; to make saaf al the mylde men of erthe.

10 Surely the wrath of man praises you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.

For the thouyt of man schal knouleche to thee; and the relifs of thouyt schulen make a feeste dai to thee.

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.

Make ye a vow, and yelde ye to youre Lord God; alle that bringen yiftis in the cumpas of it.

12 He will cut off the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.

To God ferdful, and to him that takith awei the spirit of prynces; to the ferdful at the kyngis of erthe.
