Psalms 76
1 To the Overseer with stringed instruments. — A Psalm of Asaph. — A Song. In Judah [is] God known, in Israel His name [is] great.
In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.
2 And His tabernacle is in Salem, And His habitation in Zion.
In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.
3 There he hath shivered arrows of a bow, Shield, and sword, and battle. (Selah)
There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Selah)
4 Bright [art] Thou, honourable above hills of prey.
You are more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
5 Spoiled themselves have the mighty of heart, They have slept their sleep, And none of the men of might found their hands.
The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.
6 From Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse have been fast asleep.
At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
7 Thou, fearful [art] Thou, And who doth stand before Thee, Since Thou hast been angry!
You, even you, are to be feared: and who may stand in your sight when once you are angry?
8 From heaven Thou hast sounded judgment, Earth hath feared, and hath been still,
You did cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
9 In the rising of God to judgment, To save all the humble of earth. (Selah)
When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. (Selah)
10 For the fierceness of man praiseth Thee, The remnant of fierceness Thou girdest on.
Surely the wrath of man shall praise you: the remainder of wrath shall you restrain.
11 Vow and complete to Jehovah your God, All ye surrounding him. They bring presents to the Fearful One.
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 doth gather the spirit of leaders, Fearful to the kings of earth!
He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
