PSALM 76
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician on Neginoth,
A Psalm or Song of Asaph.
1In Judah's land God is well known,
his name's in Isr'el great:
2In Salem is his tabernacle,
in Sion is his seat.
3There arrows of the bow he brake,
the shield, the sword, the war.
4More glorious thou than hills of prey,
more excellent art far.
5Those that were stout of heart are spoil'd,
they slept their sleep outright;
And none of those their hands did find,
that were the men of might.
6When thy rebuke, O Jacob's God,
had forth against them past,
Their horses and their chariots both
were in a dead sleep cast.
7Thou, Lord, ev'n thou art he that should
be fear'd; and who is he
That may stand up before thy sight,
if once thou angry be?
8From heav'n thou judgment caus'd be heard;
the earth was still with fear,
9When God to judgment rose, to save
all meek on earth that were.
10Surely the very wrath of man
unto thy praise redounds:
Thou to the remnant of his wrath
wilt set restraining bounds.
11Vow to the Lord your God,
and pay: all ye that near him be,
Bring gifts and presents unto him;
for to be fear'd is he.
12By him the sp'rits shall be cut off
of those that princes are:
Unto the kings that are on earth
he fearful doth appear.

Psalms 76
76
The Majesty of God in Judgment
To the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.
1In #Ps. 48:1, 3Judah God is known;
His name is great in Israel.
2In Salem also is His tabernacle,
And His dwelling place in Zion.
3There He broke the arrows of the bow,
The shield and sword of battle.
Selah
4You are more glorious and excellent
#Ezek. 38:12Than the mountains of prey.
5#Is. 10:12; 46:12The stouthearted were plundered;
#Ps. 13:3They have sunk into their sleep;
And none of the mighty men have found the use of their hands.
6#Ex. 15:1–21; Ezek. 39:20; Nah. 2:13; Zech. 12:4At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
Both the chariot and horse were cast into a dead sleep.
7You, Yourself, are to be feared;
And #(Ezra 9:15; Nah. 1:6; Mal. 3:2; Rev. 6:17)who may stand in Your presence
When once You are angry?
8#Ex. 19:9You caused judgment to be heard from heaven;
#1 Chr. 16:30; 2 Chr. 20:29The earth feared and was still,
9When God #(Ps. 9:7–9)arose to judgment,
To deliver all the oppressed of the earth.
Selah
10#Ex. 9:16; Rom. 9:17Surely the wrath of man shall praise You;
With the remainder of wrath You shall gird Yourself.
11#(Eccl. 5:4–6)Make vows to the Lord your God, and pay them;
#2 Chr. 32:22, 23Let all who are around Him bring presents to Him who ought to be feared.
12He shall cut off the spirit of princes;
#Ps. 68:35He is awesome to the kings of the earth.
