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.

Psalm 76
76
The God of Victory and Judgment
To the chief Musician on Neg´inoth, A Psalm or Song of Asaph.
1In Judah is God known:
his name is great in Israel.
2In Salem also is his tabernacle,
and his dwelling place in Zion.
3There brake he the arrows of the bow,
the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.
4Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
5The stout-hearted are spoiled,
they have slept their sleep:
and none of the men of might have found their hands.
6At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob,
both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
7Thou, even thou, art to be feared:
and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
8Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven;
the earth feared, and was still,
9when God arose to judgment,
to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.
10Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee:
the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
11Vow, and pay unto the Lord your God:
let all that be round about him bring presents
unto him that ought to be feared.
12He shall cut off the spirit of princes:
he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
