Psalmorum 76

1 Psalmus Asaph, in finem, in Laudibus, canticum ad Assyrios. Notus in Iudaea Deus: in Israel magnum nomen eius.

For the end, among the Hymns, a Psalm for Asaph; a Song for the Assyrian. God is known in Judea: his name is great in Israel.

2 Et factus est in pace locus eius: et habitatio eius in Sion.

And his place has been in peace, and his dwelling-place in Sion.

3 Ibi confregit potentias arcum, scutum, gladium, et bellum.

There he broke the power of the bows, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Pause)

4 Illuminans tu mirabiliter a montibus aeternis:

Thou dost wonderfully shine forth from the everlasting mountains.

5 turbati sunt omnes insipientes corde. Dormierunt somnum suum: et nihil invenerunt omnes viri divitiarum in manibus suis.

All the simple ones in heart were troubled; all the men of wealth have slept their sleep, and have found nothing in their hands.

6 Ab increpatione tua Deus Iacob dormitaverunt qui ascenderunt equos.

At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, the riders on horses slumbered.

7 Tu terribilis es, et quis resistet tibi? ex tunc ira tua.

Thou art terrible; and who shall withstand thee, because of thine anger?

8 De caelo auditum fecisti iudicium: terra tremuit et quievit,

Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,

9 Cum exurgeret in iudicium Deus, ut salvos faceret omnes mansuetos terrae.

when God arose to judgment, to save all the meek in heart. (Pause)

10 Quoniam cogitatio hominis confitebitur tibi: et reliquiae cogitationis diem festum agent tibi.

For the inward thought of man shall give thanks to thee: and the memorial of his inward thought shall keep a feast to thee.

11 Vovete, et reddite Domino Deo vestro: omnes qui in circuitu eius affertis munera. Terribili

Vow, and pay [your vows] to the Lord our God; all that are round about him shall bring gifts, [even] to him that is terrible,

12 et ei qui aufert spiritum principum, terribili apud reges terrae.

and that takes away the spirits of princes; to him that is terrible among the kings of the earth.
