Psalms, 76

1. <To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm [or] Song of Asaph.> In Judah [is] God known: his name [is] great in Israel.

1.

2. In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.

2. God is now famous in Judah, in Israel his name is great.

3. There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.

3. Salem is indeed his tent; he has made Zion his dwelling place.

4. Thou [art] more glorious [and] excellent than the mountains of prey.

4. There he broke the flashing arrow, the shield and sword, the spear and bow.

5. The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.

5. You are glorious and majestic, enthroned on everlasting mountains.

6. At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

6. The stouthearted lie despoiled, sleeping their last sleep, not one able to lift a hand.

7. Thou, [even] thou, [art] to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?

7. At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both rider and horse lay stunned.

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

8. But you - how terrible you are! Who can oppose the fury of your onslaught?

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

9. You thundered judgment from the heavens; while the earth trembled and lay still,

10. Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.

10. as you, O God, arose to judge, to save all the humble of the earth.

11. Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.

11. Pagan nations will bring you praise, their survivors will celebrate your name.

12. He shall cut off the spirit of princes: [he is] terrible to the kings of the earth.

12. Make vows to the Lord, your God, and fulfill them; let the peoples bring offerings to the Fearsome One,

13.

13. who breaks the spirit of rulers, and is formidable to the kings of the earth.
