Psalms Chapter 76
For the Choir Director. A Psalm of Asaph
A Song. On Stringed Instruments
1 God is known in Judah;
his name is great in Israel.
2 His home is in Salem;
he lives on Zion.
3 He has broken flaming arrows there,
shields, swords, and weapons of war.
4 You’re glorious, more majestic
than mountains full of beasts of prey.
5 Our stouthearted enemies have been stripped of their spoil;
they’ve sunk into deep sleep;
none of the soldiers could raise a hand against us.
6 At your rebuke, God of Jacob,
horse and rider were thrown down into dead sleep.
7 You’re to be respected;
who can withstand you when you’re angry?
Ps 76:1-7
8 You rendered judgment from heaven;
the earth lay silent in fear
9when you arose to measure out judgment,
to save the oppressed on earth.
10 People’s wrath only heightens your honor;
you dress yourself with the ashes of their anger.
11 Make your vows to Yahveh your God and fulfill them;
let everyone bring gifts to the One they need to respect.
12 He breaks the pride of princes;
kings on earth respect him.
Ps 76:8-12
