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.

In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.

2 And his abode is in Salem, and his lair in Zion.

In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.

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

There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Selah)

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

You are more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.

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

The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.

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

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

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

You, even you, are to be feared: and who may stand in your sight when once you are angry?

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

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

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

When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. (Selah)

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

Surely the wrath of man shall praise you: the remainder of wrath shall you restrain.

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 pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.

12 He humbles the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.

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