Psalms 76

1 For the end, among the Hymns, a Psalm for Asaph; a Song for the Assyrian. God is known in Judea: his name is great in Israel.

לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ בִּנְגִינֹ֑ת מִזְמֹ֖ור לְאָסָ֣ף שִֽׁיר׃ נֹודָ֣ע בִּֽיהוּדָ֣ה אֱלֹהִ֑ים בְּ֝יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל גָּדֹ֥ול שְׁמֹֽו׃

2 And his place has been in peace, and his dwelling-place in Sion.

וַיְהִ֣י בְשָׁלֵ֣ם סֻכֹּ֑ו וּמְעֹ֖ונָתֹ֣ו בְצִיֹּֽון׃

3 There he broke the power of the bows, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Pause)

שָׁ֭מָּה שִׁבַּ֣ר רִשְׁפֵי־קָ֑שֶׁת מָגֵ֬ן וְחֶ֖רֶב וּמִלְחָמָ֣ה סֶֽלָה׃

4 You do wonderfully shine forth from the everlasting mountains.

נָ֭אֹור אַתָּ֥ה אַדִּ֗יר מֵֽהַרְרֵי־טָֽרֶף׃

5 All the simple ones in heart were troubled; all the men of wealth have slept their sleep, and have found nothing in their hands.

אֶשְׁתֹּולְל֨וּ ׀ אַבִּ֣ירֵי לֵ֭ב נָמ֣וּ שְׁנָתָ֑ם וְלֹא־מָצְא֖וּ כָל־אַנְשֵׁי־חַ֣יִל יְדֵיהֶֽם׃

6 At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, the riders on horses slumbered.

מִ֭גַּעֲרָ֣תְךָ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יַעֲקֹ֑ב נִ֝רְדָּ֗ם וְרֶ֣כֶב וָסֽוּס׃

7 You are terrible; and who shall withstand you, because of your anger?

אַתָּ֤ה ׀ נֹ֥ורָא אַ֗תָּה וּמִֽי־יַעֲמֹ֥ד לְפָנֶ֗יךָ מֵאָ֥ז אַפֶּֽךָ׃

8 You did cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,

מִ֭שָּׁמַיִם הִשְׁמַ֣עְתָּ דִּ֑ין אֶ֖רֶץ יָֽרְאָ֣ה וְשָׁקָֽטָה׃

9 when God arose to judgment, to save all the meek in heart. (Pause)

בְּקוּם־לַמִּשְׁפָּ֥ט אֱלֹהִ֑ים לְהֹושִׁ֖יעַ כָּל־עַנְוֵי־אֶ֣רֶץ סֶֽלָה׃

10 For the inward thought of man shall give thanks to you: and the memorial of his inward thought shall keep a feast to you.

כִּֽי־חֲמַ֣ת אָדָ֣ם תֹּודֶ֑ךָּ שְׁאֵרִ֖ית חֵמֹ֣ת תַּחְגֹּֽר׃

11 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,

נִֽדֲר֣וּ וְשַׁלְּמוּ֮ לַיהוָ֪ה אֱ‍ֽלֹהֵ֫יכֶ֥ם כָּל־סְבִיבָ֑יו יֹובִ֥ילוּ שַׁ֝֗י לַמֹּורָֽא׃

12 and that takes away the spirits of princes; to him that is terrible among the kings of the earth.

יִ֭בְצֹר ר֣וּחַ נְגִידִ֑ים נֹ֝ורָ֗א לְמַלְכֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃
