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
God the Victor#Ps 76 Hebrew title: A psalm by Asaph; a song.
1God is known in Judah;
his name is honoured in Israel.
2He has his home in Jerusalem;
he lives on Mount Zion.
3There he broke the arrows of the enemy,
their shields and swords, yes, all their weapons.
4How glorious you are, O God!
How majestic, as you return from the mountains
where you defeated your foes.
5Their brave soldiers have been stripped of all they had
and now are sleeping the sleep of death;
all their strength and skill was useless.
6When you threatened them, O God of Jacob,
the horses and their riders fell dead.
7But you, LORD, are feared by all.
No one can stand in your presence
when you are angry.
8You made your judgement known from heaven;
the world was afraid and kept silent,
9when you rose up to pronounce judgement,
to save all the oppressed on earth.
10Human anger only results in more praise for you;
those who survive the wars will keep your festivals.#76.10 One ancient translation will keep your festivals; verse 10 in Hebrew is unclear.
11Give the LORD your God what you promised him;
bring gifts to him, all you nearby nations.
God makes everyone fear him;
12he humbles proud princes
and terrifies great kings.
