Psalms 76

1 To the Chief Musician. With Stringed Instruments. A Melody of Asaph, a Song. God is, known in Judah, In Israel, great is his Name;

Unto the end. With Praises. A Psalm of Asaph. A Canticle to the Assyrians. In Judea, God is known. In Israel, his name is great.

2 Now hath come into Salem, his pavilion, And his dwelling-place into Zion.

And his place has been formed with peace. And his dwelling place is in Zion.

3 There, hath he broken in pieces the arrows of the bow, shield and sword, and battle. (Selah)

In that place, he has broken the powers of the bows, the shield, the sword, and the battle.

4 Enveloped in light, thou, art more majestic than the mountains of prey.

You illuminate wondrously from the mountains of eternity.

5 The valiant of heart have become a spoil, They have slumbered their sleep, And none of the men of might have found their hands.

All the foolish of heart have been disturbed. They have slept their sleep, and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.

6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Stunned are the horsemen.

At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, those who were mounted on horseback have fallen asleep.

7 As for thee, to be feared thou art! Who then shall stand before thee, because of the power of thine anger?

You are terrible, and so, who can withstand you? From thence is your wrath.

8 Out of the heavens, didst thou cause judgment to be heard, Earth, feared and was still:

You have caused judgment to be heard from heaven. The earth trembled and was quieted,

9 When God rose up to judgment, To save all the oppressed of the earth. (Selah)

when God rose up in judgment in order to bring salvation to all the meek of the earth.

10 For the multitude of mankind shall give thanks unto thee, The remainder of the multitude, shall keep holy festival unto thee.

For the thinking of man will confess to you, and the legacy of his thinking will keep a feast day to you.

11 Vow and pay, unto Yahweh your God, —Let, all who are round about him, bear along a gift unto him who is to be revered.

Make vows and pay them to the Lord, your God. All you who surround him bring gifts: to him who is terrible,

12 He cutteth off the spirit of nobles, he is of reverend majesty to the kings of the earth.

even to him who takes away the spirit of leaders, to him who is terrible with the kings of the earth.
