Psalms 76

1For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. In Judah is God known; His name is great in Israel.

2In Salem also is set His tabernacle, And His dwelling-place in Zion.

3There He broke the fiery shafts of the bow; The shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah

4Glorious art Thou and excellent, coming down from the mountains of prey.

5The stout-hearted are bereft of sense, they sleep their sleep; And none of the men of might have found their hands.

6At Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, They are cast into a dead sleep, the riders also and the horses.

7Thou, even Thou, art terrible; And who may stand in Thy sight when once Thou art angry?

8Thou didst cause sentence to be heard from heaven; The earth feared, and was still,

9When God arose to judgment, To save all the humble of the earth. Selah

10Surely the wrath of man shall praise Thee; The residue of wrath shalt Thou gird upon Thee.

11Vow, and pay unto YHWH your God; Let all that are round about Him bring presents unto Him that is to be feared;

12He minisheth the spirit of princes; He is terrible to the kings of the earth.
