Psalms 76
76
Awe-Inspiring Power
To the Pure and Shining One
Asaph’s poetic tune, a song of smiting
1God is well known in the land of Judah.
He is famous throughout Israel,
2making his home in Jerusalem, # 76:2 Or “Salem,” the ancient name of Jerusalem. living here on Mount Zion.
3That’s where he smashes every weapon of war
that comes against him.
That’s where he uses the broken arrows
as kindling for his mighty bonfire.
Pause in his presence
4God, you are so resplendent and radiant! # 76:4 The word used here is often translated as “anointed” when taken from either the Hebrew or the Aramaic.
Your majesty shines from your everlasting mountain.
Nothing could be compared to you in glory!
5Even the mightiest of men have been paralyzed by your presence.
They were so stunned and lifeless,
not even the strongest one could lift a hand.
6When Jacob’s God roared his rebuke,
soldiers and their steeds all fell to the ground,
stunned and lying still.
7No wonder you are greatly feared! You are the awe-inspiring God!
For who could ever stand before your face
when your fierce anger burns and live to tell about it.
8As the earth itself holds its breath in awe before you,
judgment is decreed from heaven.
9You arise to punish evil and defend the gentle upon the earth.
Pause in his presence
10You have power to transform man’s futile anger into praise. # 76:10 Or “The counsel of men will praise you.”
The fury of your enemies only causes your fame to increase. # 76:10 The Septuagint reads “Survivors of your wrath keep your festivals.”
11So you’d better keep every promise you’ve ever made
to the Awesome One, Yahweh!
Let all people bring their extravagant gifts to him alone.
12He is famous for breaking the spirit of the powers that be.
And the kings of the earth will know him as the Fearsome One!

Who Can Stand in Your Presence?
1For the music director, on stringed instruments: a psalm of Asaph, a song.
2In Judah God is known. In Israel His Name is great.
3In Salem is His sukkah and His dwelling place in Zion.
4There He broke the fiery shafts of the bow, the shield, the sword, and the battle. Selah
5You are brilliant, more majestic than nourishing mountains.
6The valiant have been plundered— they slumbered in their sleep. The mighty could not lift their hands.
7At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both horse and rider lay dead asleep.
8You are awesome, yes You are! Who can stand in Your presence once You are angry?
9From heaven You pronounced judgment. The earth feared and was still—
10when God rose up to judgment, to save all the humble of the land. Selah
11For wrath upon man will bring You praise, a remnant of wrath You put on as a belt.
12Make vows to Adonai your God and fulfill them. Let all around Him bring tribute to the One who is to be feared.
13He cuts off the breath of princes. The kings of earth are in awe of Him.
