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.

To the chief music-maker; put to Neginoth. A Psalm. Of Asaph. A Song. In Judah is the knowledge of God; his name is great in Israel,

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

In Salem is his tent, his resting-place in Zion.

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

There were the arrows of the bow broken, there he put an end to body-cover, sword, and fight. (Selah)

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

You are shining and full of glory, more than the eternal mountains.

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

Gone is the wealth of the strong, their last sleep has overcome them; the men of war have become feeble.

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

At the voice of your wrath, O God of Jacob, deep sleep has overcome carriage and horse.

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

You, you are to be feared; who may keep his place before you in the time of your wrath?

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

From heaven you gave your decision; the earth, in its fear, gave no sound,

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

When God took his place as judge, for the salvation of the poor on the earth. (Selah)

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

The ... will give you praise; the rest of ...

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.

Give to the Lord your God what is his by right; let all who are round him give offerings to him who is to be feared.

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

He puts an end to the wrath of rulers; he is feared by the kings of the earth.
