Psalm 76

For the choir director. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

God is known in Judah;

His name is great in Israel.

So His tabernacle is in Salem;

His dwelling place is in Zion.

There He broke the flaming arrows,

The shield and the sword and the battle. Selah.

You are shining,

Majestic from the mountains of prey.

The stouthearted were plundered,

They sank into sleep;

And none of the warriors could use his hands.

At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob,

Both chariot rider and horse slumbered into a deep sleep.

But You, You are fearsome;

And who can stand in Your presence when once You are angry?

You made Your cause to be heard from heaven;

The earth feared and was quiet

When God arose to judgment,

To save all the humble of the earth. Selah.

For the wrath of man shall praise You;

With a remnant of wrath You will gird Yourself.

Make vows to Yahweh your God and pay them;

Let all who are around Him bring gifts to the Fearsome One.

He will cut off the spirit of princes;

He is feared by the kings of the earth.
