Psalms 76

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

1In Judah is God known:His name is great in Israel. 2In Salem also is his tabernacle,And his dwelling-place in Zion. 3There he brake the arrows of the bow;The shield, and the sword, and the battle. [Selah 4Glorious art thou and excellent,From 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 dead 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 gird 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.
