Psalms 76

76:1 For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm by Asaph. A song. In Judah, God is known. His name is great in Israel.

76:2 His tabernacle is also in Salem. His dwelling place in Zion.

76:3 There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah.

76:4 Glorious are you, and excellent, more than mountains of game.

76:5 Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.

76:6 At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

76:7 You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?

76:8 You pronounced judgement from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent,

76:9 when God arose to judgement, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. Selah.

76:10 Surely the wrath of man praises you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.

76:11 Make vows to the LORD your God, and fulfil them! Let all of his neighbours bring presents to him who is to be feared.

76:12 He will cut off the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.
