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.

Tehillim (Psa) 76

1For the leader. With string music. A psalm of Asaf. A song:
2In Y’hudah God is known;
his name is great in Isra’el.
3His tent is in Shalem,
his place is in Tziyon.
4There he broke the flashing arrows,
the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. (Selah)
5You are glorious, majestic,
more so than mountains of prey.
6The bravest have been stripped of their spoil
and now are sleeping their final sleep;
not one of these courageous men
finds strength to raise his hands.
7At your rebuke, God of Ya‘akov,
riders and horses lie stunned.
8You are fearsome! When once you are angry,
who can stand in your presence?
9You pronounce sentence from heaven;
the earth grows silent with fear
10when God arises to judge,
to save all the humble of the earth. (Selah)
11Human wrath serves only to praise you;
what remains of this wrath you wear as an ornament.
12Make vows to Adonai your God, and keep them;
all who are around him must bring presents to the one who should be feared.
13He curbs the spirit of princes;
he is fearsome to the kings of the earth.
