Psalms 76

1To the Overseer with stringed instruments. --A Psalm of Asaph. --A Song. In Judah <FI>is<Fi> God known, in Israel His name <FI>is<Fi> great.

1In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.

2And His tabernacle is in Salem, And His habitation in Zion.

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

3There he hath shivered arrows of a bow, Shield, and sword, and battle. Selah.

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

4Bright <FI>art<Fi> Thou, honourable above hills of prey.

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

5Spoiled themselves have the mighty of heart, They have slept their sleep, And none of the men of might found their hands.

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

6From Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse have been fast asleep.

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

7Thou, fearful <FI>art<Fi> Thou, And who doth stand before Thee, Since Thou hast been angry!

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

8From heaven Thou hast sounded judgment, Earth hath feared, and hath been still,

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

9In the rising of God to judgment, To save all the humble of earth. Selah.

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

10For the fierceness of man praiseth Thee, The remnant of fierceness Thou girdest on.

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

11Vow and complete to Jehovah your God, All ye surrounding him. They bring presents to the Fearful One.

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

12He doth gather the spirit of leaders, Fearful to the kings of earth!

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