Psalms — Chapter 76

1For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A song. God is known in Judah; His name is great in Israel.

2His tent is in Salem, His dwelling place in Zion.

3There He shattered the flaming arrows, the shield and sword and weapons of war. Selah

4You are resplendent with light, more majestic than mountains filled with game.

5The valiant lie plundered; they sleep their last sleep. No men of might could lift a hand.

6At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both horse and rider lie stunned.

7You alone are to be feared. When You are angry, who can stand before You?

8From heaven You pronounced judgment, and the earth feared and was still

9when God rose up to judge, to save all the lowly of the earth. Selah

10Even the wrath of man shall praise You; with the survivors of wrath You will clothe Yourself.

11Make and fulfill your vows to the LORD your God; let all the neighboring lands bring tribute to Him who is to be feared.

12He breaks the spirits of princes; He is feared by the kings of the earth.

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

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

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

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

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

6At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the 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 judgment 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 remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.

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

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 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 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. Psalm 77 For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthan. A Psalm of Asaph.

1For the music director, to be accompanied by stringed instruments; a psalm of Asaph, a song. God has revealed himself in Judah; in Israel his reputation is great.

2He lives in Salem; he dwells in Zion.

3There he shattered the arrows, the shield, the sword, and the rest of the weapons of war. (Selah)

4You shine brightly and reveal your majesty, as you descend from the hills where you killed your prey.

5The bravehearted were plundered; they “fell asleep.” All the warriors were helpless.

6At the sound of your battle cry, O God of Jacob, both rider and horse “fell asleep.”

7You are awesome! Yes, you! Who can withstand your intense anger?

8From heaven you announced what their punishment would be. The earth was afraid and silent

9when God arose to execute judgment, and to deliver all the oppressed of the earth. (Selah)

10Certainly your angry judgment upon men will bring you praise; you reveal your anger in full measure.

11Make vows to the Lord your God and repay them. Let all those who surround him bring tribute to the awesome one.

12He humbles princes; the kings of the earth regard him as awesome.

1In Judah, God is known. His name is great in Israel.

2His tabernacle is also in Salem; His dwelling place in Zion.

3There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah.

4Glorious are you, and excellent, more than mountains of game.

5Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.

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

7You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?

8You pronounced judgment from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent,

9when God arose to judgment, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. Selah.

10Surely the wrath of man praises you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.

11Make vows to Yahweh your God, and fulfill them! Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.

12He will cut off the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.
