Psalms 76

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 Overseer with stringed instruments. — A Psalm of Asaph. — A Song.
1In Judah [is] God known, in Israel His name [is] great.
2And His tabernacle is in Salem, And His habitation in Zion.
3There he hath shivered arrows of a bow, Shield, and sword, and battle. Selah.
4Bright [art] Thou, honourable above hills of prey.
5Spoiled themselves have the mighty of heart, They have slept their sleep, And none of the men of might found their hands.
6From Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse have been fast asleep.
7Thou, fearful [art] Thou, And who doth stand before Thee, Since Thou hast been angry!
8From heaven Thou hast sounded judgment, Earth hath feared, and hath been still,
9In the rising of God to judgment, To save all the humble of earth. Selah.
10For the fierceness of man praiseth Thee, The remnant of fierceness Thou girdest on.
11Vow and complete to Jehovah your God, All ye surrounding him. They bring presents to the Fearful One.
12He doth gather the spirit of leaders, Fearful to the kings of earth!
