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
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 art thou, more majestic
than the everlasting mountains.#76.4 Gk: Heb the mountains of prey
5The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil;
they sank into sleep;
all the men of war
were unable to use their hands.
6At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob,
both rider and horse lay stunned.
7But thou, terrible art thou!
Who can stand before thee
when once thy anger is roused?
8From the heavens thou didst utter judgment;
the earth feared and was still,
9when God arose to establish judgment
to save all the oppressed of the earth. Selah
10Surely the wrath of men shall praise thee;
the residue of wrath thou wilt gird upon thee.
11Make 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 terrible to the kings of the earth.
