Psalms 76
1 Unto the end, in praises, a psalm for Asaph: a canticle to the Assyrians. In Judea God is known: his name is great in Israel.
For the end, amongst the Hymns, a Psalm for Asaph; a Song for the Assyrian. God is known in Judea: his name is great in Israel.
2 And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:
And his place has been in peace, and his dwelling-place in Sion.
3 There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battie.
There he broke the power of the bows, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Pause)
4 Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.
You do wonderfully shine forth from the everlasting mountains.
5 All the foolish of heart were troubled. They have slept their sleep; and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.
All the simple ones in heart were troubled; all the men of wealth have slept their sleep, and have found nothing in their hands.
6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.
At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, the riders on horses slumbered.
7 Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.
You are terrible; and who shall withstand you, because of your anger?
8 Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,
You did cause judgement to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
9 When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.
when God arose to judgement, to save all the meek in heart. (Pause)
10 For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.
For the inward thought of man shall give thanks to you: and the memorial of his inward thought shall keep a feast to you.
11 Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. To him that is terrible,
Vow, and pay [your vows] to the Lord our God; all that are round about him shall bring gifts, [even] to him that is terrible,
12 Even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with the kings of the earth.
and that takes away the spirits of princes; to him that is terrible amongst the kings of the earth.
