Psalms 76
1 People in Judah know God; the Israeli people honor him [MTY].
In Judah God is known. His name is great in Israel.
2 His home is in Jerusalem; he lives on Zion [Hill].
In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling-place in Zion.
3 There he broke the flaming arrows [that his enemies shot], [and he also broke] their shields and swords and other weapons that they used in battles.
There he broke the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Selah)
4 God, you are glorious! You are like a king [as you return from] the mountains [where you defeated your enemies].
Thou are more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
5 Their brave soldiers [were killed, and then those who killed them] took away everything that those soldiers had. Those enemies died [EUP], [so] they were unable to use their weapons [any more]!
The stouthearted are made a spoil. They have slept their sleep, and none of the men of might have found their hands.
6 When you, the God whom Jacob [worshiped], rebuked [your enemies], [the result was that their] horses and their riders fell down dead.
At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep.
7 But you cause everyone to be afraid. When you are angry [and you punish people], no one can [RHQ] endure it.
Thou, even thou, are to be feared. And who may stand in thy sight when once thou are angry?
8 From heaven you proclaimed that you would judge people, [and then everyone on] the earth was afraid and did not say [anything more],
Thou caused sentence to be heard from heaven. The earth feared and was still
9 when you arose to declare that you would punish [wicked people] and rescue all those whom they had oppressed.
when God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. (Selah)
10 When [you punish those] with whom you are angry, your people will praise you, and [your enemies] who (survive/are not killed) will worship you on your festival days.
Surely the inward thought of man shall praise thee, even the residue of inward thought will observe a festival to thee.
11 [So] give to Yahweh the offerings that you promised to give to him; all the people of nearby people-groups should also bring gifts to him, the one who is awesome.
Vow, and pay to Jehovah your God. Let all who are round about him bring presents to him who ought to be feared.
12 He humbles [IDM] princes, and [even] causes [great] kings to be terrified.
He will cut off the spirit of rulers. He is fearful to the kings of the earth.
