Psalm 76

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

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

²His abode has been established in Salem,
his dwelling place in Zion.

³There he broke the flashing arrows,
the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war.

Selah

⁴Glorious are you, more majestic
than the mountains full of prey.

⁵ The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil;
they sank into sleep;
all the men of war
were unable to use their hands.

⁶At your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
both rider and horse lay stunned.

⁷ But you, you are to be feared!
Who can stand before you
when once your anger is roused?

⁸From the heavens you uttered judgment;
the earth feared and was still,
⁹when God arose to establish judgment,
to save all the humble of the earth.

Selah

¹⁰Surely the wrath of man shall praise you;
the remnant of wrath you will put on like a belt.

¹¹ Make your vows to the Lord your God and perform them;
let all around him bring gifts
to him who is to be feared,

¹²who cuts off the spirit of princes,
who is to be feared by the kings of the earth.
