Psalm 76

For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph, a song.

76 ¹In Judah is God known:

His name is great in Israel.

²In Salem also is his tabernacle,

And his ^adwelling-place in Zion.

³There he brake the ^aarrows of the bow;

The shield, and the sword, and the battle.

Selah

⁴Glorious art thou and excellent,

^aFrom the mountains of prey.

⁵The stouthearted are made a spoil,

They have slept their sleep;

And none of the men of might have found their hands.

⁶At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob,

Both chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep.

⁷Thou, even thou, art to be feared;

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 meek of the earth.

Selah

¹⁰Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee:

The residue of wrath shalt thou ^agird upon thee.

¹¹Vow, and pay unto Jehovah your God:

Let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.

¹²He will cut off the spirit of princes:

He is terrible to the kings of the earth.
