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
For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm by Asaph. A song.
1In Judah, God is known.
His name is great in Israel.
2 His tabernacle is also in Salem.
His dwelling place in Zion.
3 There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow,
the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah.
4Glorious are you, and excellent,
more than mountains of game.
5Valiant men lie plundered,
they have slept their last sleep.
None of the men of war can lift their hands.
6 At your rebuke, God of Jacob,
both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
7You, even you, are to be feared.
Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?
8 You pronounced judgement from heaven.
The earth feared, and was silent,
9 when God arose to judgement,
to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. Selah.
10 Surely the wrath of man praises you.
The survivors of your wrath are restrained.
11 Make vows to the LORD your God, and fulfil them!
Let all of his neighbours bring presents to him who is to be feared.
12 He will cut off the spirit of princes.
He is feared by the kings of the earth.
