Psalms 76

1 People in Judah know God; the Israeli people honor him [MTY].

למנצח בנגינת מזמור לאסף שיר ב נודע ביהודה אלהים בישראל גדול שמו

2 His home is in Jerusalem; he lives on Zion [Hill].

ויהי בשלם סוכו ומעונתו בציון

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.

שמה שבר רשפי-קשת מגן וחרב ומלחמה סלה

4 God, you are glorious! You are like a king [as you return from] the mountains [where you defeated your enemies].

נאור אתה אדיר-- מהררי-טרף

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]!

אשתוללו אבירי לב-- נמו שנתם ולא-מצאו כל-אנשי-חיל ידיהם

6 When you, the God whom Jacob [worshiped], rebuked [your enemies], [the result was that their] horses and their riders fell down dead.

מגערתך אלהי יעקב נרדם ורכב וסוס

7 But you cause everyone to be afraid. When you are angry [and you punish people], no one can [RHQ] endure it.

אתה נורא אתה--ומי-יעמד לפניך מאז אפך

8 From heaven you proclaimed that you would judge people, [and then everyone on] the earth was afraid and did not say [anything more],

משמים השמעת דין ארץ יראה ושקטה

9 when you arose to declare that you would punish [wicked people] and rescue all those whom they had oppressed.

בקום-למשפט אלהים-- להושיע כל-ענוי-ארץ סלה

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.

כי-חמת אדם תודך שארית חמת תחגר

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.

נדרו ושלמו ליהוה אלהיכם כל-סביביו--יבילו שי למורא

12 He humbles [IDM] princes, and [even] causes [great] kings to be terrified.

יבצר רוח נגידים נורא למלכי-ארץ
