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;

[For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm by Asaph. A song.] In Judah, God is known. His name is great in Israel.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 to the LORD your God, and fulfill them. Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.

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

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