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
Psalm 76
For the music leader. With stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song.
1God is known in Judah;
his name is great in Israel.
2His dwelling place became Salem;
his habitation was Zion.
3It was there that he broke the fiery shafts of the bow,
the shield, the sword—even the battle itself! Selah
4You are ablaze with light,
mightier than the mountains that give food.
5The bravehearted lie plundered.
They sank into deep lethargy.
All the strong troops
couldn’t even lift their hands!
6At your rebuke, Jacob’s God,
both chariot and horse were stopped dead-still.
7You! You are awesome!
Who can stand before you when you are angry?
8You have announced judgment from heaven.
The earth grew afraid and fell silent
9when God rose up to establish justice,
when God rose up to save all of the earth’s poor. Selah
10Even human rage will turn to your praise
when you dress yourself
with whatever remains of your wrath.#76.10 Heb uncertain
11Make promises to the LORD your God and keep them!
Let all around him bring gifts to the awesome one.
12He breaks the spirit of princes.
He is terrifying to all the kings of the earth.
